Triple Fellow and Leader in Water Resilience Research
Enrique Vivoni, Fulton Professor of Hydrosystems Engineering in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment at Arizona State University (ASU), and director of ASU’s Center for Hydrologic Innovations, has been named a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Geophysical Union, and AMS, recognizing his career-long impact across multiple disciplines.
Vivoni’s interdisciplinary research bridges engineering and environmental science to understand how water moves through arid and semiarid regions affected by climate change and human activity. His work has guided drought planning, wildfire mitigation, and sustainable infrastructure design through partnerships with organizations such as the Salt River Project, Central Arizona Project, and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.
At ASU, Vivoni leads one of the university’s largest water research programs, fostering collaboration among engineers, sustainability scientists, and geoscientists. The Center for Hydrologic Innovations serves as a hub for developing applied water technologies and connecting state, federal, and industry partners in pursuit of water resilience.
Recognized as a mentor and innovator, Vivoni’s three fellowships highlight his influence on advancing hydrologic science and translating research into real-world solutions. As he looks ahead, he continues to champion ASU’s role in shaping a sustainable water future for the Southwest and beyond.
