Senior Modeler
Erik Anderson is a professional engineer specializing in groundwater and surface water mechanics. Erik has B.S. and M.S. degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Minnesota. He has worked as a design engineer/consultant in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and as an assistant professor of Civil Engineering at the University of South Carolina.
As a consulting engineer, he has worked for 19 years on numerous water resources projects throughout the Midwest. 
His work has included dam design and rehabilitation, surface water modeling including dam-failure analyses and flood insurance studies, regional groundwater flow modeling for water supply and availability studies and wellhead protection studies, seepage studies, and large scale dewatering design.
At the University of South Carolina, Erik conducted research in groundwater hydraulics and developed and taught courses in dynamics, fluid mechanics, numerical methods for engineers, groundwater mechanics, and hydrodynamics. His research has focused on analytical modeling of groundwater-surface water interaction, and developing tools to incorporate three-dimensional effects in two-dimensional, numerical models of groundwater flow. He has developed analytical methods for addressing groundwater flow problems with leaky boundaries and internal boundaries. The methods have been applied to solve problems of flow to clogged streambeds, pumping wells near partially-penetrating streams, and flow in faulted single and multi-aquifer systems.
