Dr. Randall Kolar Dr. Kolar is the head of the hydrodynamic modeling group at the University of Oklahoma. He is also an associate professor in the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science, and he teaches courses in environmental engineering, open channel hydraulics, and numerical methods. His research interests center on quantitative solutions to environmental problems. |
 |
Dr. John Atkinson Dr. Atkinson is a research associate at the University of Oklahoma. His current project is called "Prognostic Baroclinic Computations of 3D Flow in Coastal Seas," which is a fancy way of saying that he is incorporating transport capabilities into a three-dimensional version of ADCIRC. |
 |
Kendra Dresback Kendra is a graduate research assistant at the University of Oklahoma. Her dissertation is titled "Algorithmic Improvements and Analyses of the Generalized Wave Continuity Equation Based Model, ADCIRC." Her graduate research has included the implementation of an implicit time-marching algorithm and the conservative form of the momentum equation in the ADCIRC model. |
 |
Chris Szpilka Chris is a graduate research assistant at the University of Oklahoma; however, she is spending her final year at home in Helena, Montana. She had a baby, Christopher Andrew Szpilka, on August 25, 2003. |
 |
Patricia Quarles Patricia is a graduate research assistant at the University of Oklahoma. She is working on an ADCIRC grid database, which will make available a number of input files for use by researchers around the country. |
 |
Casey Dietrich Casey is an undergraduate research assistant at the University of Oklahoma. His work has included numerical experiments, pre- and post-processing, parallel benchmarking, and code development. His current research is an assessment of the wetting and drying capabilities of the ADCIRC model. |
