S. Geoffrey Schladow
Professor
S. Geoffrey Schladow, professor, civil and environmental engineering; and founding director, Tahoe Environmental Research Center, John Muir Institute of the Environment; studies the interaction between fluid transport and mixing processes with water quality in natural and engineered systems. Examples of such systems include lakes, rivers, estuaries and mining pits. Using a combination of field experimentation, detailed laboratory studies and numerical modeling, he is quantifying the critical flux paths in these systems. He heads a large multi-disciplinary research program at Lake Tahoe that measures and models the fate of particles within the lake and that interfaces with atmospheric and watershed process researchers. His work includes field and modeling studies of lakes and estuaries, remote sensing of aquatic systems and climate change effects. He also led major, interdisciplinary research in the San Francisco Bay-Delta.
