LONG CITATION
Edward Sudicky is a scientific leader in the development and application of mathematical models to aid in our understanding of fluid flow and mass transport in porous and fractured geologic media. He has had a profound influence on the development of theories that describe how geologic heterogeneities influence the migration and degradation of contaminants dissolved in groundwater and in the redistribution of multiphase fluids within aquifers. Most recently, he has been leading the development of hydrologic models applicable at scales ranging from small watersheds to continental scales, which fully integrate fluid flow and solute transport on both the land surface and in the subsurface.
SHORT CITATION
Edward Sudicky is a scientific leader in the development and application of mathematical models to aid in our understanding of fluid flow and mass transport in geologic systems. His research has greatly enhanced our understanding of how geology influences the migration and degradation of contaminants in groundwater. Recently, Dr. Sudicky has taken a leading role in the development of realistic hydrologic models applicable to a wide range of phenomena on the earth’s surface.
