Shan Zuidema is a hydrologist developing primarily model-based analyses of human-hydrologic system interactions. Throughout his career, he has focused on issues of human contaminants affecting water resources and ecosystems, and evaluating how measures aiming to correct water resource problems can be used effectively to achieve desired ecological and resource outcomes.
