Carli Brucker
- PhD student Civil Engineering
Carli is pursuing a PhD in Civil Engineering at the University of baby直播app Boulder. Carli鈥檚 current research addresses the broad challenge of quantifying the impacts of wildfires on hydrologic and water quality responses in watersheds in the West. She is assisting in the design and creation of a laboratory wildfire and rainfall simulator, leading a fieldwork campaign and modeling efforts to resolve the importance of terrain slope, rainfall intensity, and burn severity on runoff and sediment loading, as well as water quality constituents. The outputs from the laboratory effort will be used to constrain watershed-scale modeling simulations across the West. Carli completed her BS in mechanical engineering in 2018 from the University of Iowa. She participated in several study abroad programs focused on improving water quality in rural communities, notably visiting India and Mexico. These projects inspired her to study civil engineering and water resources. Carli enjoys running, rock climbing, and cooking in her free time.
