Edward Gross, Ph.D.

Vice President, Lead Scientist

Edward Gross, Ph.D., is a Vice President and Lead Scientist with more than 25 years of experience developing and applying advanced three-dimensional numerical models to complex water resources and environmental systems. He specializes in hydrodynamic, water quality, and ecohydraulic modeling in coastal oceans, estuaries, and riverine environments, with a particular focus on how transport processes and organism behavior influence ecological outcomes.

Prior to joining GEI, Dr. Gross was part of the leadership team at Resource Management Associates, where he led interdisciplinary modeling efforts integrating physical processes, biology, and statistical analysis. His work frequently combines numerical modeling with Bayesian and other statistical methods to quantify uncertainty and infer key biogeochemical and behavioral processes. He has extensive experience applying tools such as UnTRIM, SUNTANS, D-Flow FM, HEC-RAS, and ROMS, and developing custom modeling and analysis software.

Dr. Gross has published more than 40 peer-reviewed journal articles and regularly collaborates with ecologists, fish biologists, and statisticians on applied research and management-focused studies.
