Member, Hydrology Water and Society Technical Committee; Editor, Earth's Future
The Reed Research Group is exploring new frameworks for effectively combining a wide range of knowledge sources with simulation, optimization, and information technologies to capture impacted systems’ governing processes, elucidate human and ecologic risks, limit management costs, and satisfy stakeholders’ conflicting objectives. The management modeling tools developed by the Reed Research Group combine multiobjective optimization, high performance computing, and advanced visualization.
