Adam S. Ward studies how water and dissolved substances move through streams, rivers, and the surrounding subsurface, including the exchange between flowing water and the sediments beneath and beside channels (the hyporheic zone). His work uses field tracer experiments, long-term monitoring, and computer modeling to understand water flow paths, solute transport, and biogeochemical cycling, often in headwater and non-perennial (sometimes-dry) streams. He also engages with the policy implications of this science for water protection.
