About

James Kirchner is a Professor at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. His research focuses on hydrology, specifically the interactions between precipitation, groundwater recharge, and streamflow, as well as soil water dynamics and conservation measures. His recent publications examine the effects of tree planting on storm runoff, soil moisture recharge in deep soils, and methodologies for estimating debris-flow velocities. Through his work, Professor Kirchner contributes to understanding complex hydrological behaviors and their implications for environmental management.
