Darren Ficklin
Darren Ficklin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Indiana University. Prior to joining the faculty at Indiana University, he worked for a semester as a visiting assistant professor within his current department after completing his postdoctoral work at Santa Clara University. Darren received his Ph.D. at the University of California at Davis in 2010 and his M.S. at Southern Illinois University in 2007.
Darren’s research focuses on the impact of climate change and variability on the hydrologic cycle in agricultural and mountainous regions throughout the world. His current research topics include: assessing the impacts of climate change on snowmelt and streamflow in the western United States, determining the spatial and temporal trends of drought throughout the United States, and assessing how aquatic species habitats may change with impending climate changes through the use of stream temperature modeling.

Dan Myers
Dan is a PhD student in the Ficklin Lab and started in Fall of 2018. Here he pursues his spreadsheet-laden passion, using scientific data to address real-world problems involving our most valuable resource: freshwater. He is currently modeling the effects of climate change on North American streams with the HydroClim project. Dan comes from the land of plentiful lakes, streams, and snow in Northern Michigan’s “tip of the mitt” region. That inspired him to pursue a B.S. Fisheries and Wildlife Management from Michigan State University and an M.S. Biology from Grand Valley State University’s Annis Water Resources Institute. Dan also had a 4.5 year career at the Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council in Petoskey, Michigan, helping communities protect their treasured watersheds. He can be reached at myersdt@iu.edu and Student Building Room 210.
