The Environmental Modeling Lab uses modeling approaches to address issues surrounding freshwater resources. The lab integrates field observation data and stream biotic characteristics, such as fish and macroinvertebrates, to develop watershed models capable of accurately evaluating the overall quality and integrity of freshwater resources. The lab also evaluates various pollution prevention and control options, such as conservation practices, best management practices (BMP) and wetland restoration scenarios to identify the optimum solution to curb the growing environmental problems. In addition to current conditions, the lab also evaluates future scenarios to identify the best set of options in order to maintain the environmental integrity under climate change.
