Project Description
Ricardo Sánchez-Murillo is an associate professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Texas at Arlington. He received his B.S. in chemistry from the National University of Costa Rica and an M.S. and Ph.D. in water resources from the University of Idaho. As a tracer hydrologist, Sánchez-Murillo has been focused on improving the understanding of tropical rainfall impacts on natural and human-altered ecosystems through the lens of naturally occurring tracers. His research efforts across the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and Central America regions have contributed to filling a historical, ground-based, and high-frequency tracer data gap; advancing the understanding of key governing drivers in rainfall and runoff generation and groundwater recharge during the genesis, development, and landfall of tropical storms; generating groundwater recharge indicators for effective management, conservation practices, and decision-making; and providing crucial and modern evidence to review and validate past climate reconstructions and ongoing ecohydrological interpretations. His early-career scholarly contributions include over 50 peer-reviewed publications. Before joining the University of Texas at Arlington, he served as the coordinator of the Stable Isotopes Research Group and Water Resources Management Laboratory at the National University of Costa Rica, where he obtained a joint award from the World Academy of Sciences (Trieste, Italy) and National Council of Science and Technology (San José, Costa Rica) for the advancement of tracer hydrology in the Central America region.
