Courses Taught:
CEE 476 / CEWA 576 Physical Hydrology
This class covers the land phase of the hydrological cycle, and track water from the cluds to the rivers. Some of the key topics include: cloud formation; types of precipitation; behavior of water on the land surface such infiltration, surface runoff, grounwater recharge and flow principles; evapotranspiration, snow accumulation and melt dynamics, and the development of floods and their statistical analysis. Various hydrological data sources and models are discussed. The class uses Landlab earth surface modeling toolkit (landlab.github.io) as modeling and exploration environment.
CEE 481 Hydraulic Design for Environmental Engineering
Introduction to the theory and practice of planning and design of urban water supply distribution, pump stations, sewage and stormwater collection systems, and green stormwater infrastructure. Engineering methods and computer programs are applied for designing basic system elements.
CEWA 564 Advanced Hydrology
Detailed treatment of statistical methods used in hydrology: trend analysis, hypothesis testing, flood frequency, and elements of stochastic hydrology and data generation. Detailed examination of hydrological models with emphasis on evapotranspiration and water budget, use of watershed model (e.g., Stanford Watershed Model) in catchment.
CEE 350: Mass and Energy Balances in Environmental Engineering
This course teaches the principles of mass and energy conservation, and applies these concepts to gain a quantitative understanding of the flow of material and energy through environmental systems, both natural and engineered.
CEWA 599: Special Topics, CUAHSI Virtual University
The CUAHSI Virtual University (CVU) is a unique multi-institution, one semester graduate course consisting of a diverse set of 4-week modules on specialized hydrology topics. The CVU aims to enhance the depth and breadth of graduate course offerings at universities across the nation and facilitate networking among the hydrologic community.
