Research Interests
Mark earned his Ph.D. at the University of Florida in Civil and Coastal Engineering specializing in water resources. His graduate work focused on physical and numerical modeling of subsurface contaminant fate and transport. His recent research efforts include developing new tools for contaminant source characterization, methods for estimating probable extreme water table elevations for tidally influenced and inland conditions, and groundwater modeling for the purpose of establishing source water assessment protection areas. His teaching experience includes courses in water resources engineering, urban stormwater design, hydraulics, and groundwater.
