[Biography]
Ciaran Harman is an associate professor at Johns Hopkins University, holding a joint appointment in the departments of Environmental Health and Engineering and Earth and Planetary Sciences. As a landscape hydrology expert, he directs the Landscape Hydrology Lab, where his research focuses on how landscape structures control water movement from rainfall to streams and how these structures evolve over time. Harman’s work addresses fundamental gaps in predicting streamflow quantity and quality in headwater catchments. By combining theory, experiments, modeling, and data analysis, his group investigates flow and transport across hydrologic scales, bridging these mechanisms with ecological, geomorphic, and geochemical processes. Notably, his insights helped establish the theory of storage selection functions for lumped transport modeling, contributing significantly to the emerging interdisciplinary field of critical zone science. Harman earned his undergraduate degrees from the University of Western Australia and a PhD in civil engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2011. A member of several major geoscience organizations, his prominent accolades include an AGU Early Career Award (2016) and an NSF Career Award (2017).
