About
Dr. Alejandro "Lejo" Flores is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geosciences. In 2008 he earned his Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a focus in hydrology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While at MIT he received the Outstanding Student Paper Award from the American Geophysical Union. His current research interests focus on predicting the spatial distribution of soil moisture by combining numerical model estimates with observational data. This past January, Dr. Flores presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society and he recently published an article in the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, and has another paper in press with Water Resources Research.
