Work with a senior numerical modeler to be trained in:
1) Applying existing hydrodynamic, sediment transport and contaminant transport models to different surface waters, e.g., estuaries, rivers, and lakes, in support of dredging and beneficial use projects by USACE Districts and contaminated sediment Superfund Site remedial investigations by EPA.
2) Developing new models and post-processing tools to support these tasks using FORTRAN, C, C++, and Matlab.

Computational models are developed and run on the Department of Defense’s High Performance Computing center resources using FORTRAN, C++ in Unix/Linux environments.

Post processing using MatLab and Aquaveo’s Surface-water Modeling System (SMS) is standard practice.
