James Gregory Email & Phone Number

Berkeley, Ca, Us

James is an environmental engineer and hydrologist with a background in water quality, flood management, climate change analysis, and hydraulic and hydrologic modeling. He earned his Master of Science degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, with a focus on groundwater hydrology, advanced fluid mechanics, applied stream ecology, aqueous geochemistry, and environmental physical and chemical processes. As part of ESA’s Fluvial Team, James focuses on managing projects while conducting and overseeing hydraulic and hydrologic modeling for a wide range of applications including flood management, river restoration, and climate change vulnerability assessments. James has conducted several studies analyzing the impact of climate change on watershed hydrology and the vulnerability of natural systems and infrastructure to flood risk under future climate conditions. He has developed and calibrated single- and multi-dimensional hydrodynamic models to evaluate flood dynamics and project alternative performance for riverine and estuarine environments. James also has extensive experience in field data collection, topographic surveying, and GIS, and has developed multiple script-based and GIS tools to process, analyze, and visualize a wide array of datasets. He has developed big data management code to analyze hydrologic and ecologic impacts of climate change. His work includes collecting data to characterize physical processes in watershed, riverine, and estuarine systems, developing hydrologic and hydraulic models to simulate existing processes and evaluate restoration and flood management alternatives, and coordinating regularly with public and regulatory agencies to communicate results, solicit and incorporate outside input and facilitate successful projects. James has been a licensed professional civil engineer in the State of California since 2012.

Berkeley, California, United States

I am a co-lecturer for LA122/222, Hydrology for Planners, a course originated by Luna Leopold at UC Berkeley in the 1970s. The course is offered spring semester every other year and is currently run by Professor Mathais Kondolf, PhD. I teach much of the hydrology section of the class alongside Dr. Kondolf.Staff page:https://ced.berkeley.edu/ced/faculty-staff/james-gregory

As an intern for Rothberg Tamburini & Winsor (RTW), James designed, constructed, and monitored a multi-process water treatment pilot plant for the City of Fort Lupton, Colorado. James assembled the pilot plant, coordinated with vendors to install microfiltration and granular activated carbon unit processes, and collected and analyzed water samples for various water quality metrics.

As an intern for the City of St. Louis Water Division, James worked at the Howard Bend Plant for drinking water treatment. Howard Bend is capable of pumping 236 million gallons of water per day from the Missouri River and contains 20 filters using rapid sand filtration. James assisted with daily water quality analyses and assisted with filter performance evaluations to meet state effluent requirements.

Master Of Science (Ms), Environmental Engineering
