Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

John W. Nowlin's research centers on optimizing water resource management, particularly focusing on conjunctive water use for irrigation and groundwater sustainability in Arkansas. His work investigates methods to improve the quantity of recharge water into sedimentary aquifers, employing simulation-optimization approaches. Nowlin also studies the extension of irrigation reservoir histories to enhance groundwater modeling and management strategies in critical groundwater areas within Arkansas.

His research also incorporates advanced technologies for agricultural applications. This includes the use of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) for generating digital elevation surfaces for irrigation and precision grading, and the application of deep learning models, such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks coupled with wavelet transforms, for improving multilevel groundwater level forecasts. Nowlin has also worked on the automated detection of on-farm irrigation reservoirs. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 4, with 13 total publications and 33 citations.
