Biography

Tony Endres uses hydrogeophysical techniques to characterize near surface hydrological processes, such as soil moisture, evapotranspiration, freeze-thaw cycles, groundwater recharge and nutrient transport, as well as freshwater ice and seasonal snowpacks

His application of these non-invasive surface geoelectrical methods delivers more information than conventional moisture monitoring techniques.

Research Interests

  • Quantitative characterization of shallow vadose zone processes, such as evapotranspiration, freeze-thaw cycles, groundwater recharge and nutrient transport

  • Non-invasive surface geoelectrical methods such as electrical resistivity tomography, electromagnetic ground conductivity meter and ground penetrating radar

  • Use of geophysical methods to study freshwater ice and seasonal snowpack.

  • Geohazards: Risks and Prevention

  • Climate Change and Geosciences

  • Devices and Analytical Methods

  • Protection of Surface and Groundwater Resources

  • Sustainable Water Use and Management
