Eiichi NAKAKITA
Professor
Kyoto University, Japan
Prof. Nakakita received both his
Bachelor, Masters, and Dr. Eng. degrees from Kyoto University, Japan, in 1983,
1985 and 1990 respectively He started his career at Water Resources Research
Center at Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University from
1985 - 1999 first as research associate and later promoted to Associate
Professor. In 1992 he spent about one sabbatical year at Iowa Institute of
Hydraulic Research at The University of Iowa. In 2000 he moved to Department of
Global Environment Engineering, a graduate school of engineering of Kyoto
University. In 2004 he returned to DPRI as professor in Research Division of
Atmospheric and Hydrospheric Disasters, DPRI, Kyoto
University, and the director for Planning & Strategy, Institute of
Sustainability Science (ISS), Kyoto University. He has been holding visiting
researcher/professor position at various national and international
institution, e.g. National Research Institute for Erath Science and Disaster
Prevention (NIED), Japan; Tropical Marine Science Institute at National
University of Singapore.
His research fields are Hydrometeorology, Water Resources Engineering, Radar Hydrology, River Hydrology. He has been especially engaged in quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) with weather radar by combining his own developed mesoscale atmospheric numerical model. He is currently also engaged in Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE) with polarimetric radar, and in global analysis of abnormal rainfall in various spatiotemporal scales taking catchment and human characteristics, and the climate change into considerations.
He has participated in disaster
survey teams attached to Japan Society of Civil Engineers to such places like
Venezuela in 2000, Cambodia and Vietnam (Mekong delta) in 2000, Europe (Elbe
and Danube) in 2002, and New Orleans (Hurricane Katrina) in 2006. He is leading
the "Integrated Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on Watersheds in a
Disaster Environment", a discipline in "Extreme Event
Projection" team under the "Innovative Program of Climate Change
Projection for the 21st Century" (KAKUSHIN Program; FSY 2007-2011), “Precise impact assessments on
climate change” team under “ under
the “Program for Risk Information on Climate Change (Sousei Program; FSY 2012-2016), “Integrated
research program for advancing climate model (TOUGOU Program, FSY2017-2011)
launched by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology
(MEXT). He is also a member of subcommittees for adaptation to the climate
change in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT), the
Ministry of the Environment, and Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).. Also, he
is a member of committees for utilizing weather radar and meteorological
satellite in MLIT and JMA..
