Lakes, Rivers, and Groundwater
SAFL brings together researchers from a broad range of disciplines that contribute to understanding the surface environment and in particular, the movement of water through landscapes. From the formation of river networks, to how flow, sediment and nutrients move through waterways and lakes, to mapping groundwater and contaminant movement, SAFL brings a diverse array of expertise and knowledge to better understand how watersheds form and evolve.

A numerical simulation of wind turbulence over breaking waves
Posted
Researchers studied the effect of waves breaking on the airflow above the waves. Research like this regarding wind and wave interactions can be used to improve ocean-atmosphere interaction models.
Long-throated U-flume study
Posted
SAFL researchers built a scale model of a round-bottomed long-throated flume, in order to validate Winflume software for this specific flume geometry.
