Associate Professor
West Virginia University
I am Dr. Omar Ibne Abdul-Aziz, a tenured Associate Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering at West Virginia University (WVU), Morgantown. My research is highly interdisciplinary, incorporating topics related to the coupled human-natural systems and sustainability sciences and engineering from at-site to regional to global scales. I collaborate with environmental engineers, hydrologists, climatologists, biogeochemists, biologists, ecologists, and socio-economic scientists. My lab emphasizes the ecological, biogeochemical, hydrological, and water quality aspects of Environmental and Water Resources Engineering. . Current research activities emphasize environmental sustainability and resilient communities, focusing on (I) ecosystem greenhouse gas fluxes and carbon dynamics, (II) stream water quality and ecosystem health, and (III) freshwater flooding in complex urban, natural, and coastal environments. I received U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER AWARD in 2015 to investigate and robustly predict stream water quality and ecosystem health across variable time, space, and process scales.
