Julia Coonrod's research has focused on issues relating to the Middle Rio Grande, including bosque evapotranspiration estimates, climate change impacts on stream flow, and the intersection of restoration & flood control goals. She directs the Hydraulics Lab where they build physical models of storm water structures for the local flood control authority and the DOT. In addition to traditional water resources courses, she teaches a graduate level course that emphasizes the modeling capabilities of GIS. |
