My research group is interested in the simulation of hydrodynamics and water quality in rivers, estuaries, and coastal waters. We have largely focused on the development of finite volume models to solve the shallow-water equations for applications involving wetting and drying of uneven topography. This includes dam-break flows, runup and overland flow resulting from tsunamis, flooding and draining of tidal wetlands, and flood flows down dry river beds (see image above).  We are also interested in surface water quality modeling in conjunction with field monitoring efforts, performing simulations to better chacterize the processes controlling the spatiotemporal distribution of various analytes.
