Jacob A. Morgan

Jacob is an engineer and scientist with experience using field/remotely sensed data, numerical modeling, and laboratory experiments to solve problems related to water and sediment in river environments. His dissertation and postdoctoral research centered on the interaction between hydrologic and sedimentologic inputs in the fluvial system, focusing directly on the morphodynamic effects of dam removal and dynamic flood risk due to changes in channel conveyance capacity. Jacob has used hydraulic and sediment transport modeling tools such as Delft3D, HEC-RAS, SRH-2D, and RiverFlow2D to simulate water and sediment movement over multiple dimensions and spatial scales. Jacob uses knowledge of programming and GIS to support problem-solving in hydrology, hydraulics, and geomorphology.
