Research Interests:

Major research interests are environmental fluid mechanics, mass transport in environmental systems, and flow and mass transport at hydraulic structures. Current research predominantly involves interfacial mass transfer, which is crucial to the development of lake and wastewater aerators; the prediction of volatile toxic compound transfer from lakes and oceans; the prediction of steam reaeration; and the mitigation of groundwater and sediment pollution.

Specific research projects include the measurement and prediction of air-water mass transfer at hydraulic structures, developing new assessment techniques for water quality performance of stormwater treatment practices, and establishing the relationship between free-surface turbulence and gas transfer.

Dr. Gulliver conducts his research at the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory.
