Roy J. Shlemon Professor of Applied Geosciences

Dept. of Earth and Planetary Sciences

Associate Director, Center for Watershed Sciences

Nicholas Pinter holds the Shlemon Chair in Applied Geosciences at University of California Davis, in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Center for Watershed Sciences. Professor Pinter studies earth-surface processes and hydrology applied to a range of problems. The main thrust of this research is on river dynamics, flooding, floodplain management, and mitigation of flood risk and other natural hazards.  Pinter has worked primarily on large alluvial rivers and their floodplains, including the Mississippi, Missouri, Rhine, Danube, and others.  This research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, FEMA, MacArthur Foundation, von Humboldt Foundation, and the European Commission.  Professor Pinter’s work also involves assessing and guiding state and federal policy on rivers and flooding.  As part of that policy focus, Professor Pinter has been the subject or a scientific source for over 200 articles in newspapers, magazines, radio and television interviews, and web-based media outlets in the US and around the world.
