Biography summary

A world expert on quantitative and integrated hydrosystem modelling, Ed Sudicky is a Fellow of both the Royal Society of Canada and the Canadian Academy of Engineering. In 2001, he was also recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher by Thomson-Reuters, ranking within the top one per cent of scientists worldwide for the number of academic citations received within the fields of Ecology/Environment and Engineering.

Professor Sudicky is principal founder and Board Chair of Aquanty, Inc., a consulting R&D company specializing in integrated hydrological system modelling.

Professor Sudicky studies the mathematical modelling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport in hydrogeologic systems by numerical and analytical methods. His research involves groundwater remediation; stochastic analysis of flow and mass transport in heterogeneous porous and fractured geologic media; groundwater hydraulics and statistical characterization of spatial variability of material properties at field sites; theory and modelling of surface/subsurface flow; and solute and energy transport from the watershed to the continental scale.
