Hurricane Harvey made landfall on August 25, 2017 near Corpus Christi, Texas. Over the next five days the storm devastated the Texas coast, dropping over 36 inches of rain over 2500 sq mi area and causing unprecedented levels of damage. Harvey is likely the costliest storm in U.S. history, exceeding Hurricane Katrina. Life-threatening flooding in the City of Houston and surrounding areas caught the world’s attention.

Lorelei Dearing
M.S. Student
During her time as an undergraduate, Lorelei explored groundwater remediation and modeling. These experiences as an undergraduate helped shape her academics, and her research interests include the subsurface and surface impacts of groundwater contamination and subsidence on coastal cities. In the future, Lorelei hopes to enter industry and work on groundwater remediation issues!
RESEARCH INTERESTS
In the SSPEED center, Lorelei works with groundwater and surface water modeling software such as MODFLOW, MT3D/RT3D, MODPATH, and HEC-HMS. Furthermore, she has assisted both on legal cases as well as consulting jobs and general lab research.
