Daniel R. Lynch

Daniel R. Lynch is the MacLean Professor of Engineering Sciences at Dartmouth College and Adjunct Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Through the 1990s he served on the Executive Committee of the US Globec Northwest Atlantic Program and cofounded the Gordon Research Conference in show more Coastal Ocean Modeling. He has published extensively on finite element methods in coastal oceanography and is coeditor of the AGU volume Quantitative Skill Assessment for Coastal Ocean Models and a related volume, Skill Assessment for Coupled Physical-Biological Models of Marine Systems, published as a special volume of the Journal of Marine Systems. In 2004 he wrote a graduate textbook titled Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations for Environmental Scientists and Engineers: A First Practical Course. At Dartmouth's Thayer School, Dr. Lynch developed the Numerical Methods Laboratory around the theme of interdisciplinary computational engineering. He pursues research at the intersection of advanced computation and large-scale environmental simulation. Current investigations focus on sustainability, natural resources, and professional education. show less
