Research Summary

Dr. Engel has been a leader in the national effort to integrate GIS and information technologies with watershed modeling. As a result of his research he has designed powerful user-friendly modeling tools that reduce complex information into a model that can be used for evaluating research hypothesis or making design decisions. The tools he has invented have shaped a new approach to water quality modeling, enabling "basin-level" water quality modeling.
