Tony Endres

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.

• 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

Professor Endres' research interests center on the application of hydrogeophysical techniques to characterize near surface hydrological processes. Currently, he is most concerned with establishing a comprehensive framework for using hydrogeophysical-derived soil moisture information to further our understanding and quantitative characterization of shallow vadose zone processes, such as evapotranspiration, freeze-thaw cycles, groundwater recharge and nutrient transport, beyond the knowledge obtained through the use of conventional moisture monitoring techniques. This work is focused on the use of non-invasive surface geoelectrical methods (electrical resistivity tomography, electromagnetic ground conductivity meter and ground penetrating radar). In conjunction with this research, he is using these geophysical methods to study freshwater ice and seasonal snowpacks.
