Research Summary

My name is Yashar Makhtoumi, and I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Nelson Institute’s Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE). My research examines how land use and land cover change influence the hydrologic cycle, water quality, and soil biogeochemistry. I joined the Gibbs Land Use and Environment Lab in January 2023 to investigate how agricultural conservation practices affect river and lake water quality and to advance understanding of agricultural water use across the United States.
