Dennis P. Lettenmaier,美國加州大學洛杉磯分校(UCLA)杰出教授,美國國家工程院院士,美國地球物理聯(lián)合會(AGU)會士、美國氣象學會(AMS)會士、美國科學促進會(AAAS)會士。他于1971年在華盛頓大學獲得機械工程學士學位,1973年在喬治華盛頓大學獲得土木、機械和環(huán)境工程碩士學位,1975年在華盛頓大學獲得博士學位。主要從事大尺度水文、遙感水文和水文氣象領域等研究。1976年至2014年,他在華盛頓大學任教,并于2014年加入加州大學洛杉磯分校。曾擔任Journal of Hydrometeorology創(chuàng)刊主編,AGU水文領域前任主席,全球能量與水循環(huán)協(xié)調(diào)觀測計劃科學咨詢委員會主席,并于2020年當選為美國國家工程院院士。發(fā)表學術(shù)論文300多篇,被引5萬余次,是國際水文氣象學界的領軍人物,在2017年獲得了Clarivate Analytics全球環(huán)境科學領域的最高引用榮譽。先后榮獲Walter L. Huber獎章,AGU水文科學獎,Walter Orr Roberts Lecturer,Robert E. Horton Lecturer,Walter B. Langbein Lecturer等多項榮譽。他目前領導多項重要的水文與氣候變化的研究項目,致力于將科學成果應用于全球水資源管理和氣候變化的應對策略中。
Brief Introduction of Professor Lettenmaier
Professor Dennis Lettenmaier is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research focuses on hydrologic modeling and prediction, hydrology-climate interactions, and hydrologic change. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 1975 and has authored or co-authored over 300 journal articles, significantly contributing to the fields of hydrology and climate science. Prof. Lettenmaier was the founding Chief Editor of the American Meteorological Society’s Journal of Hydrometeorology and has served as the past President of the Hydrology Section of the American Geophysical Union. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2020.
Internationally recognized for his contributions to hydrology, Prof. Lettenmaier was listed among the most highly cited scientists in environmental science by Clarivate Analytics in 2017. Up to Oct, 2024, his h-index is 109, with total paper citation of 50664, according to the Web of Science. Currently, Prof. Lettenmaier leads several major research projects on hydrology and climate change, aiming to apply scientific findings to global water resource management and climate change adaptation strategies.
