Dr. Todd Swannack serves as the lead for the Integrated Ecological Modeling Team, which develops and applies coupled ecological and engineering models for the EWN initiative. His EWN-related research explores the roles of coupling ecological and physical process to predict environmental response to EWN-related projects. In addition to his modeling research, he is involved in developing engineering guidance for the design and application of natural-nature based features (NNBF).
