About Lu Liu

Lu Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering Department. She received her Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Maryland in 2017. Her primary research interests include water-energy-climate nexusintegrated human-natural system modeling, and urban water sustainability. Dr. Liu is dedicated to exploring how human societies can adapt to the challenges of global environmental change.

Much of her work focused on developing integrated modeling of the interconnected water-energy-climate systems as an approach to understand the interactions and tradeoffs within systems and facilitate strategic planning of the water and energy systems. Prior to her PhD, she worked as a researcher at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where she enhanced water system representation within the state-of-the-art integrated assessment model. Lu’s research integrates method from water resources engineering, systems analysis, climate science, and integrated assessment to inform decision-making around critical environmental challenges.

Replying to Lu Liu

Is the integrated assessment model called Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM)? I think you wrote "Analysis" instead of "Assessment".

I see. I didn't realize they updated the name. It was called "Assessment" in their previous publications. Thanks for your reply!
