Anthony Alvarado

Water resources engineering is Anthony's chosen field, and river engineering studies are his focus. He has nearly two decades of GIS experience, including hydraulic analyses using HEC-GeoRAS, GIS-based geomorphic analysis and assessment, database development, cartography, and GIS-based mapping. He manages GIS and hydro survey projects.

He has extensive experience using GPS to support geomorphic mapping and hydrographic surveying. He has experience and working knowledge in the use of the Trimble GeoExplorer GPS handheld and other tablets in performing real-time GIS mapping.

His other experience includes bank protection design, sedimentation modeling, hydraulic modeling, field investigations for bridge site inspection, and geomorphic investigation and assessment. He is proficient in specialized programs used for hydraulic analysis and mapping, including ArcGIS 9, HEC-GeoRAS, ArcPad, HEC-RAS, Global Mapper, MicroStation, InRoads SelectCAD, Descartes, Hypack, RMA-2V, and HEC-6.

He received an Instructor of Excellence award from the National Highway Institute (NHI) for my teaching in fiscal 2019.
