Susan J. Gaskin is a Professor of Civil Engineering at McGill University, specializing in Fluid Mechanics. Her research focuses on fluid dynamics, sediment transport, and groundwater modeling, with applications in environmental and civil engineering. She has conducted studies on bed shear stress, aquifer systems, and turbulence in various flow scenarios. Her work includes the development of open-source groundwater modeling tools and the analysis of sediment transport in rivers. Additionally, she has explored the impact of turbulence on jet entrainment and the role of deflector designs in fish habitat restoration. Her research also extends to water resource management and its socio-environmental implications.
