Peter A Troch

Peter A Troch is a Professor in the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona's College of Science. He specializes in catchment hydrology, with research focusing on hydrological partitioning, remote sensing, and physically-based modeling. His work addresses questions about hydrological processes across scales, including climate-vegetation-soil interactions and landscape evolution.

• Teaches core courses like Hydrology and Water Resources (HWRS 519 and HWRS 630), emphasizing scientific approaches over engineering methods.
• Recipient of prestigious awards including the John Dalton Medal (EGU, 2022) and the Agnese Nelms Haury Chair (2014).
• Conducts research at the Landscape Evolution Observatory (LEO), studying water-rock-biota interactions and ecohydrological processes.

His research integrates field experiments, numerical modeling, and data assimilation to improve understanding of water availability, catchment classification, and climate change impacts. Collaborations with interdisciplinary teams address topics like basalt weathering, CO2 sequestration, and soil formation.
