Biography

Jiming Jin received a B.S in meteorology from Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology, P. R. China, and an M.S and Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences from Chinese Academy of Sciences. He also received a Ph.D. in hydrology and water resources with a minor in remote sensing and spatial analysis from the University of Arizona in 2002. Then he worked for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory first as a postdoctoral researcher and then as a scientist before joining the Departments of Watershed Sciences and Plants, Soils and Climate, Utah State University. He still holds a guest scientist position at the Berkeley Laboratory.  Jin’s research is focused on numerical modeling and analysis for surface hydrology, irrigation and land use change, regional weather and climate.
