Top SchoolJeffery Horsburgh is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering with 13 years of professional experience and a deep research focus on watershed hydrology, surface water quality, and environmental information systems. He develops cyberinfrastructure—like the widely used Observations Data Model (ODM) and its companion tools—for collecting, visualizing, querying, and managing environmental sensor and observation data. Combining GIS, sensor networks, data modeling, and hydrologic modeling, he translates complex environmental processes into practical, usable software and observatory systems. Based in Providence, Utah, he has progressed through research and faculty roles at Utah State University from research assistant professor to full professor, mentoring students while advancing open, reproducible environmental data practices.
