Veronica L. Webster

Dr. Veronica L. Webster is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Michigan Technological University's College of Engineering. Her expertise focuses on stochastic hydrology, flood frequency analysis, and climate change impacts on water resources.

• Education: PhD, MS, BS in Civil Engineering from Cornell University and University of Vermont

Her research addresses flood risk projections under climatic variability and human-induced shifts in hydrologic response, with emphasis on uncertainty quantification and statistical applications. She has contributed to revising U.S. flood frequency analysis guidelines.

Dr. Webster's publications highlight advancements in the log-Pearson type 3 distribution, regional flood frequency modeling, and climate-water resources interactions. Her work bridges statistical hydrology with practical engineering applications.

Scientific recognition includes the prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER award. She has led and co-led multiple NSF-funded projects on global water security and sustainability.

• Advised 11 graduate students in flood risk modeling, water resources management, and climate adaptation
• Active roles: ASCE task committee chair, ASCE Journal of Hydrologic Engineering associate editor
