Summary
Noelle Patterson is a postdoctoral researcher and hydrologic scientist with eight years of experience blending time-series analysis, physical hydrology, and riparian ecohydrology to inform environmental flow policy for western U.S. rivers. Trained at UC Davis (PhD in Hydrologic Sciences) and now at Utah State, she applies programming and large-scale data analysis to quantify streamflow characteristics and forecast climate-driven changes in runoff. Her background spans academia, consulting, and regulatory work—managing river restoration and climate-change streamflow forecasting projects with budgets up to $350K and shaping pesticide and water policy at the State Water Resources Control Board. She pairs field-savvy ecohydrology with reproducible computational workflows, making her adept at translating complex hydrologic science into practical management strategies. An early leader in campus sustainability initiatives, she brings both community-engaged project leadership and technical rigor to interdisciplinary water-resource challenges.
