Raymond P. Canale

Portrait of Raymond Canale

Emeritus Professor

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Education Research Interests Other Awards Publications

Education:

  • B.S. Civil Engineering, Syracuse University, 1964
  • M.S. Environmental Engineering, Syracuse University, 1966
  • Ph.D. Environmental Engineering, Syracuse University; 1968

Research Interests: ^top

Professor Canale’s research has focused on the development of mathematical models for biological and chemical kinetic and transport processes in aquatic ecosystems. This has resulted in publications on a variety of topics such as food web dynamics in Lake Michigan, zebra mussel grazing on phytoplankton in the Seneca River (N.Y.), and phosphorus and algal nutrient recycling in numerous lakes and reservoirs. Recently he has become interested in bioenergetic models for fish growth and consumption. Canale has applied these models to increase the efficiency of fish production and minimize the adverse environmental impacts of hatchery waste by-products.  

Other: ^top

Steve Chapra and I collaborated on the 1st edition of NUMERICAL METHODS FOR ENGINEERS published by McGraw-Hill in 1985.  Now in its 6th edition, it is the most widely used text of this type by colleges and universities around the world and has been translated into 10 languages.
