Christopher Lowry

Christopher Lowry is an Associate Professor at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, affiliated with the Department of Earth Sciences under the College of Arts and Sciences. His work bridges hydrogeology, ecohydrology, and groundwater-surface water interactions.

Education:

• PhD in Geology (Hydrogeology), University of Wisconsin-Madison (2008)

Research Interests focus on quantifying groundwater flow in wetland ecosystems, its interaction with surface water and vegetation, utilizing monitoring wells, geophysical methods, and numerical modeling. A key emphasis is on distributed sensing via temperature tracers.

Publication Trends reveal expertise in hyporheic zone dynamics, climate change impacts on streamflow, wetland restoration, and citizen science data acquisition. His work spans field studies in Sierra Nevada Mountains and Marcellus Shale regions.
