Kwang-Hun's paper on high-resolution mapping of water quantity and quality using uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) was accepted in Water Resources Research. In his paper, he explored the applicability of USV to dual monitoring of water quantity and quality at the Daljeon reservoir near the POSTECH campus in Pohang, South Korea. My students, Yena and Shahid, assisted on-site sampling surveys over 2021-2022.

Dr. Song's paper on the utility of remotely operated underwater vehicle in flood inundation mapping for dam failure: A case study of Lake Tuscaloosa Dam was accpeted in River Research and Applications. He was a former Ph.D. student of my group at the University of Alabama when I was an assistant professor. This paper is a main chapter of his Ph.D. dissertation. It has been for a while to have this paper accepted but I believe that his work will be well received.
