Designers and operators of infrastructure systems are faced with a wide range of uncertainties from future demands and climate to new technologies and regulations. This course presents a conceptual framework for planning, design, and operational decision-making under uncertainty in the context of infrastructure systems. Students will be introduced the typology and sources of uncertainty using real-world examples from a range of infrastructure systems. The course will cover both probabilistic and non-probabilistic analytical methods to inform decisions under uncertainty. Students will...Read more about CEE598: Uncertainty Analysis for Infrastructure
The course objective is to cover topics in surface and groundwater hydrology with descriptions of systems, models and design aspects using quantitative methods and developing problem solving skills. Upon completion, students will be able to analyze hydrologic data using statistical methods, perform hydrological evaluations for design purposes and perform hydrological design. Class offered every Spring by Prof. Garcia and every Fall by Prof. Vivoni.Read more about CEE440: Hydrology
Water resource system reliability depends on how hydrological, infrastructure, and institutional sub-systems collectively respond to change. Knowledge of feedback mechanisms and tools to explore their implications can improve design, planning, and policy making.Socio-hydrology is an emerging area of research that synthesizes methods and theories from multiple fields to assess how hydrological systems, infrastructure, and institutions interact. This course focuses on hypotheses,...
The Hydrosystems Engineering Seminar is structured as an opportunity for graduate students, faculty, research staff and invited visitors in the program to offer a seminar on research or professional work. Graduate students in attendance will read material in preparation for the ...
