Ethan Gutmann is a hydrometeorologist in the Research Applications Lab at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Dr. Gutmann has a background in hydrology, geology, and computer science; he found a happy marriage of these in large scale hydroclimate research. Dr. Gutmann has published scientific articles in topics related to hydrology, mountain snowpack, and climate change; most of his work has focused on understanding the impacts of climate change on water resources and mountain snowpack. Dr. Gutmann is a past chair of the AMS Mountain Meteorology committee and the lead scientist and developer of the Intermediate Complexity Atmospheric Research model (ICAR). He has worked closely with water resource managers at the US Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corps of Engineers, as well as with scientists at NASA, NOAA, and universities around the world. In addition, Ethan enjoys scientific outreach, having dabbled in science blogging at arstechnica, and science videography with Earth Initiatives.
