Todd Scanlon

Todd Scanlon is a Professor and Associate Chair in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia. His research focuses on catchment hydrology and land-atmosphere interactions, combining field measurements, remote sensing, and numerical modeling to study water, energy, and carbon exchange processes across diverse ecosystems, including Shenandoah National Park, Ireland, and southern Africa.

• Research Emphasis: Hydrological-geochemical transport, vegetation-atmosphere feedbacks, climate-drought dynamics, and mercury cycling.
• Teaching: Courses in physical hydrology, dryland ecohydrology, land-atmosphere interactions, and advanced catchment hydrology.

Publication Trends (2016–2024): Systematic exploration of carbon-water flux partitioning, acid deposition recovery, wildfire hydrological impacts, and ecohydrological optimization in water-limited systems using eddy covariance data and isotopic analysis.
