Water Resources Engineering
Environmental and Resource Engineering M.S. & Ph.D.

Program Description

Water Resources Engineering (WRE) deals with analysis and design of water resource systems through field, laboratory, and computer methods. Field and laboratory experiments involve physical, biological, and chemical metrics, using state of the art techniques, analyzed with powerful statistical and numerical methods. Modeling efforts integrate GIS and remote sensing tools into distributed and real-time models, using rigorous model calibration and validation components. Emphasis is placed on coordinating design to optimize benefits for human and natural systems, given environmental, economic, legal, social, and managerial constraints.

Quote on Graduate Experience "It felt kind of strange at first to be back sitting on this side of the classroom. Nonetheless, I am excited to be learning and relearning concepts in a multidisciplinary environment, from faculties who are diverse in background and expertise. I am thrilled to have access to such vast educational resources, and looking forward to making full use of the exceptional facilities for research." Website http://sites.google.com/site/mticabaraban/

Jesse Robinson jrobin02@syr.edu	Water Resources Engineering Degree Sought: MS Advisor(s): Endreny	Undergraduate Institute: Indiana University of Bloomington* (Environmental Science) Graduate Research Topic Urban streams are likely to receive polluted runoff from our built environment and may suffer from serious historic pollution and modification. Despite this, stream restoration projects are often not located in these areas because of difficulty in assuring improvement to aquatic resources and the threat of future encroachment on these sites. This research will examine urban and non-urban restoration sites in order to determine if there is evidence of an important natural function: the mixing of surface and groundwater, which can influence nutrient processing, habitat, and more. Research will examine how urban restoration projects compare to non-urban sites, and further compare restoration to degraded and reference sites.
