Dr. Getirana is a Research Scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in the Hydrological Sciences Laboratory. Dr. Getirana’s research involves the development, improvement and application of state-of-the-art computational models and integration of remote sensing data towards a better understanding of the spatiotemporal water availability and forecast, including extreme hydrological events, such as droughts and floods, and anthropogenic impacts on the water cycle and compound flooding. He is the lead developer of the Hydrological Modeling and Analysis Platform (HyMAP) global scale river routing scheme and leads surface hydrology developments in the NASA Land Information System (LIS). Dr. Getirana has more than 90 peer-reviewed publications on the fields of hydrometeorology, geophysics, numerical modeling and remote sensing, including two Nature commentaries on climate and human-driven water issues in Brazil and Bangladesh. He is a Principal Investigator for NASA's SWOT Science Team and leads the NASA-Rio de Janeiro Partnership. He also serves as associate editor to AGU's Earth's Future and as reviewer to numerous top scientific journals. Projects he has been involved in focus on better representing global scale hydrological processes in computational models, the development of land data assimilation systems, sub-seasonal to seasonal hydrological forecasts and capacity building. In 2021, he was awarded the NASA's Agency Honor Award and NASA's Robert H. Goddard Honor Award, both for scientific achievements. Dr. Getirana obtained his Ph.D. degree in Hydrology form the Université de Toulouse III (2009) and Civil Engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (2009). His B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees are in Civil Engineering, both from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2003 and 2005, respectively.
