Andrew Gronewold is Associate Professor at the University of Michigan's School for Environment and Sustainability, with joint appointments in Civil Engineering and Earth Sciences. His research program advances hydrological prediction systems through integrated modeling of climate impacts on transboundary freshwater resources.
Professor Gronewold leads the NSF-funded Global Center for Understanding Climate Change Impacts on Transboundary Waters, coordinating multi-institutional research on climate resilience in vulnerable cross-border communities. His methodological innovations include Bayesian approaches to uncertainty quantification in watershed-scale forecasting and novel integration of satellite data with hydrological models.
His extensive publication record demonstrates consistent focus on: (1) Climate-driven hydrological extremes in large lake systems, (2) Advanced modeling techniques for water budget closure, (3) Transboundary water governance frameworks, and (4) Next-generation monitoring through AI and remote sensing. Recent articles establish predictive frameworks for thermal regime shifts and develop decision tools for sustainable water allocation under climate uncertainty.
As director of the SEAS Hydro Lab, Gronewold oversees projects examining water balance dynamics in systems ranging from the Great Lakes to arid-region terminal lakes. His team develops cyberinfrastructure for visualizing historical hydroclimate data and assessing long-term trends.
