Hilary and her students study hydrology and water resources in a range of landscapes from pristine mountain headwaters to highly modified urban catchments. She focuses on the value of many types of hydrologic data to improve understanding of hydrologic processes and build accurate quantitative models to predict river flow, soil moisture, groundwater recharge and other quantities.
Hilary has previously worked in the UK and New Zealand and continues many collaborative projects with scientists around the world, from flood forecasting in New Zealand to tracking soil moisture patterns with scientists in France. From 2015-2017, Hilary was Chair of the IAHS hydrological decade 2013-2022 with the theme `Panta Rhei: Change in Hydrology and Society’.
