Research Interests

Sheila Murphy focuses on the characterization of the hydrology and water chemistry of watersheds and how they are affected by both natural factors and disturbance. Her recent research has evaluated the effects of wildfire on stream water quantity and quality in the Colorado Front Range, and the hydrologic and geochemical responses to geology, land cover change, and hurricanes in a tropical forest in Puerto Rico.
