Jonathan Goodall

Assistant Professor

Dr. Goodall's research group is concerned with the development and application of models and information systems for water resources systems. The group is currently investigating such topics as model coupling, spatially-explicit modeling, and hydrologic data integration. The primary goal of this research is to enable decision makers to better manage complex water resources systems in a holistic, integrated, and sustainable way. The group is supported by the NSF, EPA, and Microsoft Research, among others.
