Josh Kollat, Kaustubh Misra, Joe Kasprzyk, and Dr. Reed.


Research Statement: Dr. Reed’s Hydroinformatics Research Group (HRG) is focusing on developing innovative management modeling approaches for environmental and water resources systems. The HRG is investigating how to effectively combine a wide range of knowledge sources with simulation, optimization, and information technologies to capture impacted systems’ governing processes, elucidate human and ecologic risks, limit management costs, and satisfy stakeholders’ (e.g., site owners, regulators, and public advocates) conflicting objectives.  The management modeling tools developed by the HRG combine multiobjective optimization, high performance computing, and advanced spatiotemporal visualization and uncertainty modeling techniques to facilitate improved stakeholder decisions.

Mid-Atlantic Watershed Atlas: Dr. Reed is also the founder and Director of the Mid-Atlantic Watershed Atlas (MAWA). Please take time to explore its tutorial videos in the MAWA HELP menu for discoverying freely available regional data or for sharing your group's work.
