Dr John S. Gulliver receives ASCE Hunter T. Rouse award

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has awarded John S. Gulliver, member of IAHR since 1981, the 2020 Hunter T. Rouse Award for over three decades of service in bringing water quality into the field of hydraulic engineering, education engineering students, authoring prominent textbooks and handbooks and serving engineering practice.

John_T_Gulliver_350px.jpgDr. Gulliver is a professor at the University of Minnesota, performing his research at the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory.   His research interests are mass transport in environmental systems, gas transfer at hydraulic structures and stormwater pollution prevention.  He has taught courses fluid mechanics, environmental mass transport and urban hydrology and water quality. From 1997 to 2007, he was Head of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Minnesota.

His research involves interfacial mass transfer and remediation of non-point source pollution from urban runoff. Specific research projects include the measurement and prediction of air-water mass transfer at hydraulic structures, aeration of hydroturbine flows to improve dissolved oxygen content, and development of practices to remove dissolved contaminants from urban runoff.  Dr. Gulliver has written two books, ‘Introduction to Chemical Transport in the Environment’ and ‘Optimizing Stormwater Treatment Practices: A Handbook of Assessment and Maintenance’, edited four books, and published over 140 refereed journal articles in these areas of research. Dr. Gulliver received the Rickey Medal, 2003 from the American Society of Civil Engineers, an award given for a career of research and education related to hydroelectric energy, and was appointed the Joseph T. and Rose S. Ling Professor of Civil Engineering from 1999 through 2009 by the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Minnesota.
