BAE 669/869 – Advanced Watershed Modeling
Year: 2010, 2012College: Kansas State University
Role: Lead Co-Instructor
Summary
Undergraduate course on study and evaluation of physical processes at the watershed scale using hydrologic and water-quality models. Fundamental principles of hydrologic cycle are discussed; rainfall excess and runoff hydrographs, overland and channel flow, detention ponds, wetlands, and etc. Impacts of climate change on hydrologic regimes in Kansas are explored. In-class and homework projects on simple and complex hydrologic and watershed models: TR-55, STEPL, BASINS, and SWAT.
ATM 661 – Water, Wastewater and Watershed Management
Year: 2010, 2011College: Kansas State University
Role: Guest Instructor
Summary:
Multidisciplinary undergraduate course on watershed sources, fate, and transport of pollutants, with focus on issues of the prairie agroecosystem, and impacts of watershed protection and restoration strategies on water and environmental quality. I developed a section on watershed models and environmental assessment of non-point source pollution.
