Glenn Moglen is an associate research scientist at the
Center and an associate professor in the Department of Civil
and Environmental Engineering. His research focuses on
issues of urbanization and the impacts of land use change on
the hydrologic environment. His work frequently employs the
use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its use in
modeling applications. Recent efforts of Moglen have sought
to apply quantitative measures to land development decisions
in efforts to minimize impacts to the hydrologic and
ecological environments. His work has been published in many
journals including Water Resources Research, the Journal of
Hydrologic Engineering (ASCE), the Journal of Hydrology, the
Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Journal
of the American Planning Association, Geomorphology, and
Ecosystems. He is also an author in the recently published
Encyclopedia of Hydrology on the topic of digital elevation
model analysis in GIS. Moglen has recently completed a
sabbatical at the U.S. Geological Survey, Office of Surface
Water, where he focused on developing new methods for
estimating flood frequency in urbanizing landscapes. He
holds a B.S. from the University of Maryland, an M.S. from
Colorado State University, and a Ph.D. from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
