Ronnie completed his BS in civil engineering from Texas A&M University and is now a Doctoral Research Assistant at the University of Colorado Boulder. His current research interests are: assimilating soil moisture to estimate irrigation, developing a continental soil evaporation data set, and creating a remotely sensed ensemble of the terrestrial water balance.

CVEN-4333 Engineering Hydrology

Water serves as one of our most precious and limited natural resources. It transports energy throughout the land, ocean, and atmosphere, regulating climate and shaping the surface of the earth. The objective of this course is to provide an understanding of the complexity and importance of the movement, distribution, and quality of water, while emphasizing applications to engineering practices.

Aaron received his B.S. in Environmental Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines in 2014 and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Colorado Boulder. During his undergraduate career, he was a member of the McBride Honors Program, studied abroad in Newcastle, Australia, and received an Honors Enrichment Scholarship to intern at TechIDEAS, a software development company in Barcelona, Spain during the summer of 2014.
