Water Resources, Coastal and Environmental Engineering - Teaching and Research at George Mason Univeristy
We are currently investigating the potential of nature to reduce hurricane-flooding impacts to critical infrastructure. We also strive to incorporate climate variability and human induced environmental changes to engineering practice and design. Our group is also focusing on integrating riverine, urban and coastal flooding analysis at real time, near future forecasting and infrastructure design. W
