Vetted Matched Scholars (1 Profiles)
Prof. Jonathan Winter
Associate Professor of Geography
In Plain Terms · What This Scholar Does:
He studies how shifting climate patterns bring monster rainstorms to farming regions, evaluating whether farm soils will be flooded or crops will suffer severe droughts.
Core Research Topics: Hydroclimatology, agricultural water resources, extreme precipitation, regional climate modeling, climate change impacts on streamflow.
Recent 2024–2026 Works & Grants: Leads the Hydroclimatology Group at Dartmouth. Evaluates how changing storm tracks and extreme precipitation alter water availability, flooding, and agricultural crop yields across the northeastern US.
Laboratory Instruments & Methods: Regional climate models (WRF), hydrologic water balance simulations, statistical downscaling, GIS spatial climate grids, Python.
Recruiting Context: Active research group in hydroclimatology. Direct fit for Geography and Environmental Science graduates.
