Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Hydrology; Groundwater; Water Resources |
A.B. (1972) and B.E. (1972) Dartmouth College
M.S. (1977) and Ph.D. (1981) Stanford University
David Freyberg's diverse research interests include understanding surface-subsurface
interactions in coupled reservoir/sediment/wetland/stream systems, quantifying
and valuing hydrologic ecosystem services, modeling sediment deposition and
mobilization in sediment-impacted reservoirs, and managing the uncertainty
in predicting subsurface hydrologic phenomena, flood wave propagation in and
infiltration and recharge from ephemeral channels in arid and semi-arid environments,
sediment management in small reservoirs, the hydrology of riparian wetlands,
vadose zone dynamics in tropical coastal zones, and engineering pedagogy. He
and his students have studied rainfall variability in Nigeria; flowfields around
partially penetrating injection wells; field-scale experimental validation
of models of flow and transport in aquifers; head, velocity, and concentration
uncertainty in heterogeneous aquifers; enhanced numerical analysis techniques
for simulating reactive, multicomponent transport in aquifers; the characterization
of spatial variability in natural geologic media and the construction of synthetic
aquifers; the effects of state-dependendent anisotropy on flow through the
vadose zone; the role of diffusion and slow advection in transport through
heterogeneous, saturated porous media; recharge from ephemeral channels; and
the learning process during undergraduate research experiences in laboratories.
Professor Freyberg was a 1985 recipient of a Presidential Young Investigator
Award. In 1993 he received the Stanford School of Engineering Tau Beta Pi Award
for excellence in undergraduate teaching and in 1994 he received a Stanford
Unversity Bing Fellowship for teaching excellence. He was the Landreth Family
University Fellow in Undergraduate Eduction at Stanford for 2002-07. From 1988-1992
he served as Associate Dean of Engineering for Undergraduate Education. He
is the past chair of the National Research Council's Water Science and Technology
Board. He is a co-author of the widely-used text, Water-Resources Engineering.

Websites for each class are available for enrolled students
on CourseWork.
Each contains considerable information about the most recent version of
the course, including the syllabus, texts, assignments, etc. The links
above for each course take you to the class notes for the first day of
class, which provide an overview of the goals, content and organization
of each. These are also availalbe to the Stanford community at: http://syllabus.stanford.edu |
