R. Edward Beighley

Associate Professor

Dr. Beighley’s specialty is Water Resources Engineering. His research centers on the modeling fine scale hydrologic processes within large scale systems and on the experimental testing of rainfall, runoff and erosion processes. His research blends remote sensing, spatial data analysis, numerical modeling and experimental (laboratory and field) research.
