Clint Dawson is CARTHE's group leader for coastal modelling. Dr. Dawson has more than 20 years of experience in numerical studies of coastal ocean transport processes, focusing on two and three dimensional wave, current, and transport models. He is part of the development team for the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) model, with numerous applications to modeling Gulf of Mexico hurricane response since 2000. He was awarded NSF RAPID and DHS grants to model the Deepwater Horizon oil spill using ADCIRC and a newly developed Lagrangian particle tracking code. Dr. Dawson has ten peer-reviewed papers on shallow water modeling, with emphasis on hurricane storm surge in the Gulf of Mexico. He is currently head of the Computational Hydraulics Group in the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at UT Austin.
