Biography
Jeff Dozier’s research and teaching interests are in the fields of snow hydrology, Earth system science, remote sensing, and information systems. He has pioneered interdisciplinary studies in two areas: one involves the hydrology, hydrochemistry, and remote sensing of mountainous drainage basins; the other is in the integration of environmental science and computer science and technology.
In addition, he has played a role in development of the educational and scientific infrastructure. He founded UCSB's Donald Bren School of Environmental Science & Management and served as its first Dean for six years. He was the Senior Project Scientist for NASA’s Earth Observing System in its formative stages when the configuration for the system was established. He helped found the MEDEA group, which investigates the use of classified data for environmental research, monitoring, and assessment.
Professor Dozier received his B.A. from California State University, Hayward in 1968 and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1973. He has been a faculty member at UC Santa Barbara since 1974. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the UK's National Institute for Environmental eScience. He is also an Honorary Professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a recipient of the NASA Public Service Medal, a Schneebaum Lecturer at Goddard Space Flight Center, and one of two winners of the 2005 Pecora Award from the Department of Interior and NASA.
Publications
In his research fields, Professor Dozier has authored or co-authored 20 books and monographs, and more than 200 articles in leading journals and conference proceedings.
