Water Quality Modeling Group Research
Home News Research --» Teaching Publications People Links	Our research interests center on water quality and ecosystem modeling in coastal and pelagic environments. In particular, model simulations and predictions for hypoxia/anoxia, eutrophication, primary production, sediment erosion and deposition, anthropogenic nutrient fluxes to coastal regions, and system carrying capacities for living resources. Numerical modeling of hydrodynamic, sediment transport, and water quality have been used in our research for a variety of temporal (from steady-state to fully-dynamic) and spatial scales (from box model to 3-dimensional). GIS-based software and watershed models have also been heavily used in our research.
