Isabelle Gouttevin

Isabelle Gouttevin received the Ph.D. degree in Earth, Universe, and environmental sciences from the University of Grenoble, Grenoble, France, in 2012. Just after graduation, she joined as a permanent Researcher with the Hydrology-Hydraulics Research Unit, IRSTEA (now INRAE), where she focused on different aspects of the hydrological modeling of mesoscale and alpine catchments, including the role of snow and glaciers. During a scientific visit with the CRYOS Lab, EPFL, she, in particular, studied and modeled the snow-forest interactions. In 2018, she joined the Snow Research Center, Grenoble, France, a group of the National Centre for Meteorological Research. As the Head of the Observation team of the Snow Research Center, she promotes synergies between observations of various kinds and their modeling counterparts for a better understanding of the cryosphere and its evolution under climate change. She is currently a Snow Scientist. Her research interests include observing, understanding, and modeling snow and its interactions with the atmosphere, vegetation, and soil in a changing climate. With time, her fields of interest reached to mountain meteorology and the development downscaling and bias correction technics for mountain weather as an upper boundary condition of the snowpack.
