I am a surface and groundwater hydrologist who uses a combination of field work and hydrological modeling to improve water resource management in vulnerable regions. I have worked in the Pacific, Caribbean, Middle East, and Florida to tackle problems understanding flow and transport in fractured (karst) aquifers, agricultural impacts on surface and groundwater systems, and freshwater distribution and residence times on small island states.

Jennifer Collins, a Professor in the USF School of Geosciences, discusses her research into human behavior relating to hurricane evacuations and her interest in supporting teaching and research for graduate and undergraduate students.

"Based on our research it is very important to consider your plans now. If you are to stay, consider getting supplies sooner rather than later (as the stores will run out and have long lines before they do). Consider if you evacuate where you know people who may help. In a time of need, even those relationships you have which are weaker and more distant can be those you may want to consider if you don’t have a large network of friends and family outside your immediate area. Evacuate to your nearest safest place if you can."
