Personal profile
Research interests
Dr. Newman’s research experiences span a range of observational and modeling techniques and phenomena provide a unique skill set that is well suited for actionable and interdisciplinary or convergent research focused on water cycle, regional climate, and hydrometeorological topic areas. Prior to joining the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Dr. Newman participated in field campaigns, developed instruments and retrieval algorithms, and developed methods and analysis for convection permitting modeling of the North American Monsoon. Since joining NCAR in 2011 as an Advanced Study Program (ASP) postdoctoral fellow, his research has been predominantly centered on actionable, interdisciplinary science across regional hydroclimatic change, surface water resource management, and climate and health studies. Dr. Newman has made significant and transformational contributions along three primary research foci: hydrometeorological datasets and tools (e.g., CAMELS, GMET/GPEP, HUMID, GARD-LENS, Snowflake Video Imager [now Particle Imaging Package]), regional climate modeling (e.g., CONUS, Alaska, and Hawai’i), and surface hydrology (CAMELS, hydrologic modeling and projections, model benchmarking).
