Reed Maxwell
Reed Maxwell focuses his research on understanding connections within the hydrologic cycle and how they relate to water quantity and quality under anthropogenic stresses. He joined Princeton in 2020 as a professor of civil and environmental engineering and the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI), and is director of the Integrated Groundwater Modeling Center (IGWMC) based in HMEI. Maxwell has authored more than 140 peer-reviewed journal articles and teaches classes on integrated hydrology, fluid mechanics and modeling terrestrial water flow. He came to Princeton after 11 years as a professor of hydrology at the Colorado School of Mines. Maxwell was a postdoctoral researcher and then physicist in the Hydrologic Sciences group at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He received his Ph.D. in environmental water resources from the University of California-Berkeley in 1998.
