Dr. Gross's research focus in hydrology covers both isotope hydrology and geophysical tools for hydrogeologic characterization. His study of the Roswell Basin in New Mexico is a classic illustration of the integration of isotope techniques with standard hydrogeologic tools, including numerical modeling. He has long been one of the leading scientists using tritium as a natural tracer. Dr. Gross also has a strong research program on the physics of ice crystals. He was the recipient of the 1993 New Mexico Tech Distinguished Research Award.
