Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNaoki Mizukami is an Associate Scientist based in Boulder with 11 years of experience specializing in snow hydrology, hydrometeorology, and hydrologic/land-surface modeling. At NCAR he leads hydrologic modeling and data analysis, building on prior work developing and evaluating distributed hydrologic models for NOAA/NWS and supporting operational forecasting. His background blends academic rigor—PhD and MS in Civil Engineering from the University of Utah and a BSc in Geophysics from Hokkaido University—with hands-on water resources engineering on major infrastructure projects. Naoki’s work often focuses on how spatial resolution and downscaling choices affect climate-change-driven hydrologic impacts, a niche that bridges research and operational decision-making. He pairs modeling proficiency with practical implementation experience, from storm-drain and bridge drainage design to training forecasters on new operational tools.
