Anthony (Tony) Buda is a Research Hydrologist with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in University Park, Pennsylvania and is a Co-Director of USDA’s Northeast Climate Hub. Tony holds a B.S. in Environmental Science from Susquehanna University (1998), an M.S. in Forest Resources and Watershed Stewardship from Penn State University (2000), and a Ph.D. in Forest Hydrology from Penn State University (2007). As a hydrologist with ARS, Tony is tasked with examining the role of hydrological processes in nutrient fate and transport in agricultural watersheds. Some of Tony's current work includes: (1) using high-frequency water quality sensors to understand the mechanisms controlling nutrient transfers from fields to streams, (2) determining the potential for near-surface geophysics to increase the precision of nutrient management in artificially drained agricultural settings, (3) enhancing operational nutrient management with short-term runoff forecasts from National Weather Service hydrologic models, (4) evaluating strategies to mitigate the effects of legacy nutrients on watershed outcomes, and (5) assessing the role of extreme weather events in nutrient losses from long-term experimental watersheds.
