Our group began its life in 2004 when Marek Stastna arrived at UW. Environmental Fluid Mechanics is part of the large Environmental and Geophysical Fluid Mechanics group. This group consists of Kevin Lamb, Francis Poulin, Marek Stastna and Michael Waite, as well as cross-appointed Faculty Christine Dow (Environment), Chris Fletcher (Environment), and Andrea Scott (Systems Design). Our group is strongly collaborative, and many students have been co-supervised.
