Research Profile
Environmental Systems Engineering
Peter Rogers is Gordon McKay Professor of Environmental Engineering and Professor of City Planning in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. He is a member of the American Academy of Environmental Engineering and the Third World Academy of Science, and is the recipient of the Maass-White Visiting Scholarship, and Guggenheim and Twentieth Century Fellowships. His research interests include:
- Conflict resolution in international river basins.
- Improved methods for managing natural resources and the environment, with emphasis on the use of analytic optimizing methods to incorporate both the natural phenomena and the engineering controls.
- Impacts of global change on water resources, and the development of indices of environmental quality and sustainable development.
- interaction of land use planning and central management.
He has carried out extensive field and model studies on population, water and energy resources, and environmental problems in Costa Rica, Pakistan, India, China, the Philippines, Bangladesh and, to a lesser extent, in 25 other countries. His most recent work has focused on sustainable development with an emphasis on large cities in Asia.
