Auroop Ganguly

Auroop Gan­guly, an asso­ciate pro­fessor of civil and envi­ron­mental engi­neering, exam­ines the role our planet’s changing cli­mate plays in weather events like Hur­ri­cane Sandy.

The western and southern United States is cur­rently expe­ri­encing the worst drought since 1988. We asked Auroop Gan­guly, a pro­fessor of civil and envi­ron­mental engi­neering, to explain the effects of cli­mate change on drought and its impact on the environment.

Auroop Gan­guly, an asso­ciate pro­fessor of civil and envi­ron­mental engi­neering, ana­lyzed the rela­tion­ship between global warming and last week’s heat wave.

Auroop Gan­guly — an asso­ciate pro­fessor of civil and envi­ron­mental engi­neering who heads Northeastern’s Sus­tain­ability and Data Sci­ences Lab — explains how global cli­mate change and extreme weather, such as hur­ri­canes and heat waves, could affect water sus­tain­ability, crit­ical infra­struc­tures and human health.

Civil and envi­ron­mental engi­neering asso­ciate pro­fessor Auroop Gan­guly devel­oped a com­pu­ta­tional model to pre­dict future water avail­ability based on both cli­mate — and global pop­u­la­tion change.

Auroop Gan­guly, asso­ciate pro­fessor of civil and envi­ron­mental engi­neering, takes an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary approach to studying cli­mate change and severe weather conditions.
