David Wiberg

David Wiberg joined the Modeling Land-Use and Land-Cover Changes in Europe and Northern Asia Project in January 1997, where he has been developing methodologies to assess the impact of land use and climate changes on basin water resource availability, demand, required storage capacity, development costs and management options.

Dr. Wiberg received his bachelor’s degree in physics, with a minor in economics, from Gustavus Adolphus College, where he also served as a teaching assistant for the Physics Department. He went on to obtain a master’s degree and PhD in civil engineering, with a focus in water resource engineering and management, from the University of Colorado at Boulder. In Boulder, Dr. Wiberg was contracted by the Bureau of Reclamation, DOI, to develop user-friendly software for simulating flow in developed, managed watersheds and worked as a research assistant at the University of Colorado on projects involving water quality modeling and climate change impact studies for the EPA and DOE. He has also consulted for the Dialogue for Water and Climate and UNESCO’s World Water Assessment Program. Dr. Wiberg's primary fields of interest are water modeling, climate change impact assessments, and efficient and sustainable water management strategies.
