Rate My Professor Denny Johnson

Johnson's research specializations encompass hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, watershed management, GIS applications, information technology in higher education, environmental monitoring of hillslope wetlands, unit hydrograph development for the National Weather Service, snowpack data analysis for the Lake Superior basin, nationwide flash flood guidance estimates, and rainfall intensity patterns. Notable publications include "An Application and National GIS Database to Support 2-year Flood and Threshold Runoff Estimates" (Reed, S., Johnson, D., Sweeney, T.; ASCE Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2002), "A subsurface response model for large storm events within the Susquehanna River Basin" (Beighley, R.E., Johnson, D.L., Miller, A.C.; ASCE Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2000), "Comparing Mean Areal Precipitation Estimates from NEXRAD and Raingage Networks" (Johnson, D.L. et al.; ASCE Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 1999), and "The Flood of '96 and its socio-economic impacts in the Susquehanna River Basin" (Yarnal, B. et al.; Journal of the American Water Resources Association, 1997). He was nominated for the 1998 Boggess Award for the best paper in that journal. Johnson teaches hydrology, hydrodynamics, surveying, hydraulic engineering, engineering economy, and wastewater collection systems, and has consulted for the City of Lock Haven, A.C. Miller and Associates, Capitol Engineering Corp., Port Matilda Borough Authority, Michael Baker Jr. Corporation, and Riverside Technology, Inc. He serves as faculty representative to Trustee Committees through 2025 and chairs academic committees.
