Jonathan Remo

Jonathan Remo is a Professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Resources at Southern Illinois University. His research focuses on river science, flood hazard assessment, and disaster mitigation planning, with expertise in fluvial geomorphology and hydraulic modeling.

• Education:
  • Ph.D., Southern Illinois University (2008)
  • M.S., West Virginia University (1999)
  • B.S., Edinboro University of Pennsylvania (1997)

Dr. Remo’s research investigates interactions between river systems and human activities, emphasizing floodplain dynamics, levee vulnerability, and climate impacts on hydrology. He employs geospatial tools and hydrodynamic modeling to address flood risk and ecosystem restoration.

Recent publications highlight his work on nitrogen mitigation in floodplains, strategic levee reconnection, and sedimentation patterns in the Mississippi River basin, spanning topics from hydrological modeling to socio-hydrology and cultural geography.

He has secured grants from The Nature Conservancy and American Rivers for projects like the Dogtooth Bend Floodplain Science Project, focusing on floodplain monitoring and restoration.
