Brian Pfaff

M.S., Hydrologic Science and Engineering, Colorado School of Mines, 2021-2023

Now: Engineer/Hydrogeologist at Knight Piésold

Upon graduating with his B.S. in 2018, Brian worked in the environmental consulting industry for a few years before deciding to pursue a Masters’ degree in Hydrology. For his thesis, Brian is interested in how various topographic distributions affect the timing/magnitude of snowmelt and runoff at the catchment level and what this can tell us about a watershed’s sensitivity to climate change. In his free time, he enjoys skiing, mountain biking, and generally doing anything outdoors.
