Welcome to Luthy Group
Dick Luthy is the Silas H. Palmer Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, and Fellow in the Woods Institute for the Environment. His area of teaching and research is environmental engineering and water quality. His research promotes new strategies for urban water systems to achieve more sustainable solutions - especially in regions experiencing chronic water shortages and vulnerabilities to cycles of very low precipitation like the American west and southwest. In related work, his research investigates cost-effective and natural approaches for sediment restoration.
