Research Interests
Professor Bou-Zeid's current research focuses on combining numerical, experimental, and analytical tools to study the basic dynamics of flow and transport in environmental systems. The aim is to study how Environmental Fluid Mechanics relate to problems in climate change, air quality, hydrology, and sustainable development.
Boundary layer Meteorology, the study of dynamics and modeling of flow and transport in the thin (~1 km) layer of air near the earth surface, is a particular focus of our group. Most human activities and engineered systems are concentrated in this Atmospheric Boundary Layer; in addition, its dynamics are very important for surface-atmosphere couplings and for global atmospheric dynamics.
