Stephen Good

Stephen Good is an Assistant Professor at Oregon State University, specializing in ecohydrology and isotope hydrology. His research bridges canopy-to-continental scale water-ecosystem interactions, with a focus on dryland environments.

• PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering (Princeton University, 2013)
• MS in Environmental Engineering (Michigan Tech, 2008)
• BS in Mechanical Engineering (Carnegie Mellon, 2004)

His work emphasizes isotopic tracers for studying water vapor flux partitioning and environmental dynamics in arid systems. Recent publications reflect interdisciplinary approaches combining hydrology, climate science, and ecosystem analysis, with key articles in Geophysical Research Letters and Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres.

Scientific contributions include presentations at major conferences like the AGU Fall Meetings (2015, 2016) and publications in high-impact journals. His research explores non-traditional water pathways such as "where water doesn't flow," focusing on retention mechanisms in dryland systems.

Stephen leads the WAVES (Water, Vegetation, & Society) research group, integrating field studies with computational modeling to address water-resource challenges in climate-sensitive ecosystems.
