Senior🎓
Top SchoolKyongho Son is an Earth Scientist at PNNL with over a decade of expertise in hydrologic and ecohydrological modeling, applying process-based, AI/ML, and agent-based methods to watershed and river corridor challenges across the Columbia River Basin and agricultural landscapes. He combines rigorous model development, sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, and field data integration to inform water availability, hydropower operations, and emergency response planning. Kyongho has a track record of coupling human decision-making with reservoir and watershed models—translating complex socio-environmental dynamics into actionable management insights. His work spans applications from water quality and DOC dynamics in urban watersheds to drought impacts on energy systems, reflecting a rare blend of field-based ecohydrology and computational modeling. Trained with a PhD in Ecohydrology, he also brings international perspective from early-career river restoration and turbidity management projects in Korea.
