Dr. Stotler's research interest is hydrogeology.
Research Interests
- C. Use of non-traditional stable isotopes to investigate carbonate and organic matter evolution and biogeochemical pathways in alkaline lakes
- D. Determining the effects of slower injection rates on aquifer clogging for aquifer storage and recovery (ASR)
