Pierre Gentine is the Maurice Ewing J. Lamar Worzel Professor of Geophysics at Columbia University, serving both Columbia Engineering and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. He holds MSc and PhD degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Dr. Gentine’s research focuses on land-atmosphere interactions, convection, and ecohydrology, employing a mix of conceptual and numerical models, alongside a wide array of data analysis tools. His overarching research aim is to comprehend how soil and atmospheric moisture organize across various spatial and temporal scales, particularly in their interactions with the atmosphere, vegetation, and landscape. His work delves into hydrometeorology, remote sensing, data assimilation, and stochastic processes, especially regarding how these measures can be used to estimate soil moisture and surface heat fluxes by employing land-surface models.
