Dr. Milewski is a Co-PI on new grant looking at the development of a regional and local groundwater model for southeast Georgia and surrounding areas

Title: Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Evaluation of Local and Regional Surface and Groundwater Hydrology using Alternative Conceptual Models

Collaborative effort between College of Engineering and the Department of Geology (Franklin College of Arts & Sciences)

• PI: C. Brock Woodson, College of Engineering
• Co-PI: Adam M. Milewski, Department of Geology (Franklin College of Arts & Sciences)
• Duration: October 2024 – September 2027
• Support: ~$550,000
• Opportunity: Ph.D. Student Support (12-month)

Synopsis:

This project continues the development of a regional and local groundwater model for southeast Georgia and surrounding areas. We will examine the role of groundwater flows across the region for future climate and coastal development scenarios including the effective dispersion of scalars within the groundwater system. The model permits us to quantify the fate of groundwater and solutes in the system.
