| Upmanu Lall Dr. Upmanu Lall's principal areas of expertise are
statistical and numerical modeling of hydrologic and climatic
systems and water resource systems planning and management.
He has over 25 years of experience as a hydrologist. He has
been the principal investigator on a number of research projects
funded by the U.S.G.S., the NSF, the U.S.A.F., N.O.A.A.,
U.S.B.R., D.O.E. and State of Utah and Florida agencies.
These projects have covered water quantity and quality and
energy resource management, flood analysis, groundwater modeling
and subsurface characterization, climate modeling and the
development of statistical and mathematical modeling methods.
He has been involved as a consultant with specialization
in groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling covering
mining operations, streamflow modeling and water balance,
risk and environmental impact assessment, site hydrologic
evaluation and as a reviewer and as an expert on a number
of other hydrologic problems. He has also taught over 20
distinct University courses. Academic Training
