Alan F. Hamlet joined the CEE faculty as a Research Assistant Professor in Sept, 2007, with joint affiliation with the inter-disciplinary Center for Science in the Earth System (CSES) Climate Impacts Group. His research over the last 10 years has focused on the impacts of climate variability and change on rivers and water resources systems in the western U.S., with a particular emphasis on the Columbia River basin in the Pacific Northwest.
