Gisselle Gutierrez (Environmental Engineering)
Gisselle Gutierrez-Zuniga is pursuing a Master’s in Civil Engineering with a focus on Water Resources at FIU. Her areas of interest include bioremediation, sustainability, groundwater and surface water modeling, and environmental policy and management. Gisselle is the Marketing Director of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Miami-Dade Branch Younger Member Group. She is also an active member of the Water Environment Federation, the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists, the American Society for Photogrammetry and Sensing, as well as Engineers without Borders.
As part of the DOE Fellows Program, funded through the DOE-FIU Cooperative Agreement, Gisselle is working on acquiring high-resolution imagery needed to build a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) for detailed delineation/extraction of topographical and hydrologic features to be used for the development of basin-scale land surface and groundwater models that are representative of the regional hydrological conditions surrounding the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).
