Jason A. Hubbart

Jason A. Hubbart, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor
Forest Hydrology & Water Quality

Education

  • Ph.D. 2007, University of Idaho – Moscow

Research

  • Fresh water supply regimes (quantity, timing).
  • Water quality disturbance mechanisms.
  • Best management practices (BMP’s).
  • Environmental biophysics and ecohydrology
  • Hydrologic scaling, modeling, and change.

Research Summary

  • Hubbart’s research interests lie in the integrated fields of physical hydrology, water resources, water quality, biogeochemistry, environmental biophysics, interdisciplinary environmental science, and ecology. Hubbart is keenly interested in the interactions of biota and hydrologic disturbance, and issues related to conservation and sustainability of fresh water resources, particularly at the urban/wildland interface.
