Charles J. Vörösmarty is a Professor of Civil Engineering at The City College of New York and Founding Director of the Environmental Sciences Initiative at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center. He leads the Environmental Crossroads Group, focusing on global water systems, climate interactions, and FEWS (Food-Energy-Water Systems) resilience. His research integrates hydrology, geospatial data, and engineering to address water security, climate change, and infrastructure strategies.
Educational background: Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences, though specific institution details are not provided in the text. Professional experience includes over 25 years at the University of New Hampshire, where he founded the Water Systems Analysis Group (1992–2008).
Research interests include modeling water cycle dynamics, anthropogenic impacts on water resources, reservoir engineering effects, and sustainable development goals. He emphasizes nature-based solutions and engineered infrastructure for FEWS resilience, with recent work on private-sector water security investments and U.S.-Hungarian regional redevelopment projects.
Publications (2023–2024) highlight FEWS frameworks, climate extremes, and interdisciplinary strategies for resource management. He advises governments and academic partners on infrastructure integration. Grants include leadership roles in NASA, NSF, and UN initiatives, including co-chairing the Global Water System Project (2004–2015).
Labs/Teams: Environmental Crossroads Group, CUNY ASRC; previously led Water Systems Analysis Group at UNH. Collaborates with UN agencies, private funds (e.g., UBS, PGGM), and national panels (e.g., Arctic Research Commission, NRC).
