Asst Prof Edward Park

Dr. Edward Park is Assistant Professor in Physical Geography at NIE and ASE (courtesy appointment), and a Principal Investigator (PI) at the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS), Nanyang Technological University, where he is developing a river research program entitled Tropical Rivers in the Anthropocene. His research attends to hydro-geomorphic processes and wetland hydro-sedimentary dynamics, which is strongly based on geospatial technologies, hydrological modeling, statistical methods and traditional fieldwork in geomorphology. He aims to develop geospatial databases on hydrological variables, sediment information and morphometric parameters in order to better analyse the interactions across natural hazards, human impacts and river ecosystems. The overall intention is to extend the discussion on the sustainable management of large rivers.
