Flood alert system in the works
GMU Fourth State on Septermber 17, 2014
... "A team of students is developing a program to monitor campus flooding by creating an alert system for the Mason community. "We're trying to develop what I'm calling the Mason Educational Watershed, which is to create Mason as a living laboratory for Water Resources Engineering," said Celso Ferreira, a water resources engineering professor."...
Course Change for the Arc Marine Data Model
By Dawn Wright (ESRI Chief Scientist) on September 12, 2014
..."As we increasingly focus on this new Geoinformation Model, while also considering our current resources and available staffing, we at Esri feel that the work of Dr. Celso Ferreira at George Mason University is actually making the most progress in advancing Arc Marine. For example, his lab has already developed its own geodatamodel and ArcGIS tools based on both Arc Marine and Arc Hydro for coastal flooding applications. We would thus like to point the community to Dr. Ferreira as a lead on Arc Marine, and we look forward to promoting and assisting his work where we can."
New Fellowship Winner Using Coastal Flooding Studies to Aid Homeland
To best help his native Bangladesh, Volgenau School of Engineering doctorate student Mithun Deb knew what he needed to do: leave his home country for the opportunity to conduct research that could help it. Deb is the winner of the first Balfour Beatty Distinguished Graduate Fellowship, sponsored by Balfour Beatty Construction — an international construction and infrastructure services company — for his study of coastal flood modeling on the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake, in a way, is a stand-in for the Bay of Bengal, the source through the centuries of so many deadly tropical cyclones along the southern coast of Bangladesh.
Mason Spirit - Amelia Martin
By Mason Spirit contributor on April 16, 2014
As Hurricane Sandy battered the New York/New Jersey coast in October 2012, civil engineering major Amelia Martin wondered what if Sandy had made landfall in Washington, D.C.? What residents and buildings would be most at risk of flooding? "A lot of people were asking that question," Martin says. "I figured there had to be some kind of scientific approach to answering that—and there was."
