Senior🎓
Top SchoolNing Sun is a hydrologist and Senior Earth Scientist with 11 years at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory studying how natural hazards and human activities interact to shape floods, droughts, water quality, and energy systems. She combines process-based modeling—from coupled land surface and river temperature models to urban water quality and green infrastructure simulations—with applied climate-impact analysis to translate hazard understanding into resilience solutions for people and infrastructure. Her career progressed through research and postdoctoral roles at PNNL and the University of Washington, reflecting deep expertise in watershed-to-regional scale modeling and urban stormwater management. Based in Richland, Washington, Ning pairs a PhD in Environmental Science with practical field and teaching experience, and is known for bridging rigorous science with actionable engineering for water and energy resilience.
