Why Is Harry F. Lins Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Harry F. Lins is a retired hydrologist whose career was spent with the U.S. Geological Survey from 1971 to 2012. During his years at USGS, his work spanned several Earth science disciplines, including coastal processes, surface water hydrology, and hydroclimatology. Although most of his career was spent conducting research, he managed the USGS Global Change Hydrology Program from 1989 to 1997, and served as co-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Hydrology and Water Resources Working Group for the IPCC First Assessment Report. As a result of his IPCC work, he shared in award of the Nobel Peace Prize to the IPCC in 2007. In 1999, he and USGS colleague David Wolock developed "WaterWatch", the Nation's first website depicting maps and graphs of water resources conditions in near real-time. Lins served as President of the World Meteorological Organization Commission for Hydrology from 2012 to 2019.
