Research Group in Environmental Fluid Dynamics <\/strong><\/p>\n

Research under the direction of Dr. Gardarsson is in the field of Environmental Fluid Dynamics.\u00a0 The focus areas are\u00a0interaction of fluid and air with the environment with emphasis on practical application in hydraulic design, and water quality.\u00a0 The research is theoretical, computational, and field based.<\/p>\n

Research\u00a0results\u00a0are published in journal\u00a0articles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dr. Gardarsson leads the Research Cluster GEORG<\/a> (GEOthermal Research Group) that was awarded seven year grant<\/a> by the Science and Technology Policy Council of Iceland 2009-2015. GEORG is now a independent company with five employees with dr. Gardarsson as the Chairman. GEORG is organizing a GEORG Geothermal Workshop 2018 <\/a>in November.<\/p>\n
