Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAubrey Dugger is a hydrology-focused project manager and scientist with 16 years of experience translating terrestrial water physics into predictive models used for forecasting and infrastructure planning. At NCAR she has become a recognized expert in WRF-Hydro and its integrations with the NOAA National Water Model and NASA LIS, advancing surface/subsurface characterization, snowpack dynamics, and lateral flow in operational systems. Her PhD work improved coupled eco-hydrological model partitioning to assess how forest management and disturbance alter water availability, and she now leads pilots to represent forest disturbance and urbanization physics in national-scale models. Prior to NCAR she developed urban infrastructure scenarios that linked design choices to water supply and quality outcomes, blending field-relevant science with model development. Based in Boulder, she combines deep disciplinary rigor with applied systems thinking to move research into operational forecasting tools.
