Mark Borsuk

Mark Borsuk is the James L. and Elizabeth M. Vincent Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research focuses on mathematical models for integrating scientific information on natural, technical, and social systems, with a particular emphasis on Bayesian network modeling applied to environmental and human health regulation and decision making. He also develops novel approaches to climate change assessment, combining risk analysis, game theory, and agent-based modeling. Borsuk's work has been supported by the NSF, EPA, NIH, NIEHS, and USFS, and he has authored or co-authored 75 peer-reviewed publications and 6 book chapters. He received the Chauncey Starr Distinguished Young Risk Analyst Award in 2013 and the Early Career Research Excellence Award from the International Environmental Modelling and Software Society in 2008.

Mark Borsuk is a scholar specializing in risk assessment, Bayesian statistics, uncertainty analysis, integrated assessment modeling, and water quality modeling. His research focuses on developing probabilistic and statistical methods to address environmental and resource management challenges. Borsuk's work includes Bayesian networks for eutrophication models, uncertainty analysis in water quality, and integrated environmental assessment approaches. He has contributed to studies on nutrient inputs, climate policy modeling, and the application of Bayesian methods in ecological and health sciences. His research emphasizes the integration of stakeholder values and scientific modeling to support decision-making in environmental contexts.
