Richard M. Vogel
Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Background
Professor Vogel is a professor of civil and environmental
engineering and director of the graduate program in
Water: Systems, Science and Society and
has been at Tufts since 1984. His primary
expertise is in the areas of hydrology and water resource
engineering with emphasis on hydrologic, hydraulic and
statistical methods for analyzing water resource systems.
His current research program focuses upon the areas of
watershed modeling and management, water quality, regional
hydrology, environmental statistics and the new field of
hydromorphology. Hydromorphology deals with improving our
understanding of how hydrologic systems have evolved due to
anthropogenic influences including climate change, water
infrastructure and urbanization. His consulting experiences
have included: world water resources assessment, reservoir
systems analysis, hydropower feasibility analyses, water
supply investigations, floodplain delineations, stormwater
management modeling, reservoir design, dam safety analyses
and ice jam control. He is currently the contributing editor
of the ASCE Journal of Water Resources Planning and
Management.
