Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Broxton is a hydrometeorologist and postdoctoral researcher with 11 years of experience applying GIS, hydrological modeling, and field observations to improve high-resolution water and snow datasets. Based at the University of Arizona, he led creation of the first global 1 km depth-to-bedrock estimates and developed long-term, high-resolution gridded snow products used to benchmark satellite, reanalysis, and land-model outputs. His work spans flash-flood and snowmelt modeling, global 1 km vegetation datasets integrated into WRF, and applied research translating forest structure effects on snow into a web-based decision-support tool for a local utility. Patrick combines hands-on field sampling and isotope analysis with large-scale data processing, bringing rare expertise linking plot-level processes to global model improvements.
