Environmental Hydrology Graduate Program |
The Environmental Hydrology program focuses on
fundamental physical mechanisms and statistical methods for understanding, predicting, and
controlling the quantity and quality of water within the
biosphere.

Program Faculty |
Steven G.
Buchberger (Associate Professor; Ph.D. 1988 University of Texas at Austin)
Dr. Buchberger's research interests encompass simulation techniques for designing and
operating natural treatment systems; mathematical models of water demands in municipal
distribution systems; forecasting and simulating Great Lakes water levels; and control of
nonpoint source pollution.
|
Shafiqul
Islam (Associate Professor; Sc.D. 1991 Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Dr. Islam's research interests focus on the issues of global climate change and its effect
on the environment; landsurface hydrology parameterizations for global climate models;
land-surface-atmosphere interactions at mesoscale; real time forecasting of rainfall and
floods; physically based rainfall-runoff models; and nonlinear dynamical theories for the
prediction of hydrologic and environmental systems.
|
James
G. Uber (Associate Professor; Ph.D. 1988 University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign) Dr. Uber's research involves the creative development and application of numerical methods, and mathematical optimization teqniques, for the simulation, design, control and operation of complex environmental and hydrolic systems. Dr Uber has focussed his research applications on water quality problems in urban water distribution networks, where hydraulic dynamics, chemical kinetics, and microbial ecology come together.

Herbert
Preul (Professor Emeritus; P.E.; Ph.D. 1964 University of Minnesota) Dr.
Preul's research interests include hydraulic design of wastewater treatment plants; runoff
and drainage; stream sanitation; and flood control.
