Hi, my name is Danielle Tijerina.

I am a Hydrologic Science and Engineering Master's student at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO.

I received my undergraduate degree in Geography with a minor in Geology from Humboldt State University in Arcata, CA. It was awesome to have redwood trees on our campus! In my undergrad I studied human-environmental interactions concerning natural systems. I completed research in Tibet about sacred mountains and in California on tsunami hazard communication.

Currently at Mines, I am studying with Dr. Reed Maxwell and looking at similarities and differences of large scale hydrologic models.
I am interested in using hydrologic modeling to better inform policy and improve human lives.

Apart from school, I live in beautiful Denver with my husband. I spend a lot of time going to the Botanic Gardens, hiking in the nearby foothills, snowboarding (the season is almost over!) and experimenting with cooking new recipes.

I look forward to meeting you all this summer in Tuscaloosa!
