Daniel P. Loucks is an emeritus professor on the faculty of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the School of Public Policy at Cornell University. He conducts research in the development and application of economics, ecology, and systems analysis methods to the solution of environmental and regional water resources problems. He teaches a graduate course in water resource systems planning and management at the Technical University of Vienna, Austria, and a course in public systems modeling to graduate students in the Cornell’s School of Public Policy. In the past he has held positions in over 10 other universities and research institutes in Australia, Europe, and North America, and in various US and UN agencies, NATO, and the World Bank. He has consulted on water development projects in Africa, Asia, in the Americas, and in Europe. He served as an aviator in the US Navy for 26 years and retired after commanding the Navy’s largest air transport squadron. He is a distinguished member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a member of the US National Academy of Engineering.

Water Security
Engineering Sustainable Systems and Safeguards
Friday, March 17, 2023, 1pm EDT
Event Overview
The United Nations Water Initiative says water security is essentially about safeguarding people’s access to quality water — not only for basic health and well-being, but more broadly to enable socioeconomic development, to protect against pollution and disasters, and to preserve ecosystems in a climate of peace and political stability.
Water is everything, and the consequences for passivity or inaction are dire. Of the many interconnected segments of our society that need to come together, systems engineers are chief among them. They concern themselves with diagnosing and offering solutions for achieving these goals and objectives related to water security. Their job is not only to devise and implement technical solutions but — perhaps as importantly — to also guide policy decisions, measure progress, and influence laws and oversee outcomes.
In this event, you will hear about these critical topics from Cornell University Professor Emeritus Daniel Loucks, a leading expert whose research revolves around finding solutions to these issues on a global scale.
About Cornell’s CTECH Keynote series:
Transportation and infrastructure systems define modern society and provide critical services that ensure healthy and economically viable communities. Future development of urban infrastructure systems, such as transportation systems and the urban environment, must address the complex systems challenges of population growth and urbanization, the acceleration of climate change, environmental integrity, community health, and increased economic disparities.
The CTECH (Center for Transportation, Environment, and Community Health) Keynote series provides an open forum for multidisciplinary discussion, bringing together practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and the general public to examine these issues and solutions through a social justice and health equity lens. Together, we will explore innovative research and technologies ranging from new service/business models to connected and automated electric vehicles that address the challenges in infrastructure, transportation, environment, and community health systems.
While highlighting the impact of the STEM disciplines on civic well-being and public health, this series also affords the opportunity for the dissemination of knowledge and actionable recommendations to meet these global challenges.
The CTECH Keynote series is developed by Dr. H. Oliver Gao, Howard Simpson Professor with the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University and director of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Center for Transportation, Environment, and Community Health (CTECH). Dr. Gao is also an Associate Director of the Cornell Program in Infrastructure Policy (CPIP).
