Adam Burton Munson

Adam B. Munson is a Senior Lecturer in the department of Information Systems and Operations Management at the University of Florida. He earned his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Florida and also holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Aquatic Ecology, and an M.B.A. He also is licensed as a PE in industrial engineering. Adam has conducted extensive research on development of environmental constraints for the purpose of water supply planning and alternative water resource development. He is particularly interested in developing the lowest cost local and region-scale strategies for meeting current and future water supply demands without violating ecologic constraints on traditional water supplies. This ultimately leads towards the conjunctive use of multiple surface and ground water resources, with highly variable availability, to maximize resource yield and supply reliability. Recently Adam has been involved with the statistical modeling of historic surface water stages based on climatic indicators where stage records are too brief to span climate cycles. This impacts recourse availability by establishing a non-bias record of historic condition. Adam’s research has been published in multiple journals including the Journal of the American Water Resource Association, Florida Water Recourses Journal, and Lake and Reservoir Management.
