Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Danielle Grogan is a member of the Water Systems Analysis Group lab within ESRC, which studies the role of water in human and natural Earth systems. Dr. Grogan’s work includes examining how different sources of water – glaciers, snow, rain, and groundwater – contribute to food production, electricity generation, and ecosystems, with a theme of evaluating water’s role in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Her work also aims to understand how climate change will alter water sources and water demands, and uses a combination of models and sensor data analysis.

The Water Systems Analysis Group develops and maintains the global hydrologic model WBM, which can be found at https://github.com/wsag/WBM.
