Street focuses on studies related to geophysical fluid motions. His research focuses on the modeling of turbulence in fluid flows, which are often stratified, and includes numerical simulation of coastal upwelling, internal waves and sediment transport in coastal regions, flow in rivers, and valley winds in the atmosphere. He is the author of a textbook on "The Analysis and Solution of Partial Differential Equations" and co-author of a textbook on "Elementary Fluid Mechanics." Professor Street received the American Society of Civil Engineers Huber Prize for distinguished research (1972), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers R.T. Knapp Award (1986; jointly with Jeff Koseff), and the ASCE Karl Emil Hilgard Hydraulic Prize (2002; jointly with Dr. Emily Zedler). He is the recipient of the 2005 Hunter Rouse Hydraulic Engineering Lecture Award of ASCE's EWRI.
He held a National Center for Atmospheric Research
Senior Post-doctoral Fellowship in 1978 and a Queen's Senior Post-doctoral
Fellowship in Marine Science [Australia] in 1985. He is a Fellow of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science (1993) and a Member of the National
Academy of Engineering (2004). He has served as civil and environmental engineering
department chair, associate dean of engineering, and vice provost and dean
and vice president in the university.
