Zhongbo Yu (Geoscience) recently received the John Hem Award for Excellence in Science & Engineering from the National Ground Water Association.
The award honors significant scientific or engineering contributions to the understanding of groundwater. The award will be presented at the 2015 Groundwater Expo in Las Vegas this week.
Yu was nominated specifically for a body of nine modern works on distributed hydrologic process modeling at the watershed scale. A leading international scholar in this area, Yu has done work that is considered of particular academic significance not only in understanding how groundwater and surface water move in large basins, but also in providing useful tools to explore uncertainty and parameter scaling.
