Faculty Profiles

Dr. Jason Julian is an Environmental Geographer and Earth Systems Scientist who investigates landscape changes and environmental management across broad scales, with a focus on human-environment interactions, water resources, and protected places. Past projects have included land use effects on watershed processes and river ecosystems, modeling light availability and primary production in rivers, bio-geomorphic feedbacks in rivers, stream mitigation, and ecosystem service demands with population growth. He was a Fulbright Senior Scholar (New Zealand) and is currently a Professor at Texas State University, where he teaches courses on Water Resources, Geomorphology, and Environmental Systems.

Environmental Geography: human-environment interactions; land-cover/land-use change; ecosystem services; parks & protected places; natural resource management
Water Resources: watershed science & management; river systems; water policy
Ecohydrology: bio-hydro-geomorphic feedbacks in river ecosystems; spatiotemporal trends in water quality; sustainable flows; aquatic light availability; scaling relationships
Fluvial Geomorphology: channel changes; large river-floodplain dynamics; streambank erosion
