I have more than 30 years of experience in developing and executing studies in watershed hydrology and river hydraulics, with a particular focus on floods and dam safety. I complete floodplain and dam safety analyses for communities and dam owners.
I have performed studies at hydro projects nationwide, and I've developed and performed technical analyses in support of hydropower license applications, including instream flow studies and analyses of alternative hydropower operation rules. I've also developed and presented training seminars in watershed and dam break modeling for the Association of State Dam Safety Officials.
Here are some of my areas of expertise:
- Instream flow studies
- Floodplain analysis
- Dam safety analysis
- Hydro project analysis
