Jessica D. Lundquist
Professor, University of Washington Seattle
Dr. Jessica Lundquist received her B.S. in Atmospheric Science from University of California, Davis in 1999, her M.S. in Oceanography from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at U.C. San Diego in 2000 (with a thesis on coastal fog), and her Ph.D. in Oceanography from SIO in 2004 (with a dissertation on diurnal cycles in mountain streamflow). She spent 2 years as a CIRES postdoctoral fellow with CU Boulder and NOAA, where she finally learned to ski. She joined the UW CEE faculty in 2006.
