She has published broadly in the field of water law including, "The Use of State Instream Flow Laws for Federal Lands: Respecting State Control while Meeting Federal Purposes" in Environmental Law; "Hydropower Reform and the Impact of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 on the Klamath Basin" in the Journal of Environmental Law and Litigation; and "Advancing Freshwater Conservation in the Context of Energy and Climate Policy" in the Denver Water Law Review. She frequently speaks on water, energy, and climate topics, and recently finished a grant funded project with The Nature Conservancy on freshwater conservation in Oregon.
