Speakers
Gary Parker
Grainger Distinguished Chair Emeritus, W. H. Johnson Professor of Geology, University of IllinoisGary Parker joined the faculty of the Environmental Hydrology and Hydraulic Engineering group in the summer of 2005. He holds a 75 percent appointment in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and a 25 percent appointment in the Department of Geology, where he is the W.H. Johnson Professor of Geology.
Professor Parker received a B.S. from the Department of Mechanics and Materials Science of Johns Hopkins University (1971) and a Ph.D. from the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Minnesota (1974). Before coming to the University of Illinois, he was an Institute of Technology Distinguished Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Minnesota. During the period 1995-1999, he also served as Director of the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, a water resources/fluid mechanics laboratory in the same department.
Prof. Parker was elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union in 2003 and received the G.K. Warren Award in Fluviatile Geomorphology in 2002. He has received the Schoemaker Award twice and the Ippen Award from the International Association of Hydraulic Research, and the Einstein Award, Hilgard Prize and Stevens Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers. In 1991 he also received the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology Outstanding Teacher Award. In addition to numerous journal articles, he has written an e-book, “1D Sediment Transport Morphodynamics with Applications to Rivers and Turbidity Currents.” Parker teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in fluid mechanics, river engineering, sediment transport.
One of Prof. Parker’s major research goals is to use the fundamental techniques of fluid mechanics and applied mathematics to treat interesting geomorphological problems. Related special research includes mechanics of river meandering; oceanic turbidity currents; sorting of mixed grain sediment by fluvial processes; bank erosion and protection using permeable dikes and vegetation; and reservoir sedimentation. Development of a mechanistic understanding of the processes involved with sediment transport in rivers and the ocean environment, and the morphologies they create, is of prime importance. River meander migration research has led to the development of computer models that predict channel shift and can therefore be used in the design of floodplain structures such as bridges, intakes, etc. In addition, research on depositional submarine fans has been found useful to oil companies as a means of helping locate oil deposits.
