YAMAZAKI Dai

YAMAZAKI Dai is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at The University of Tokyo, leading the Global Hydrodynamics Lab. His research focuses on hydrology, global hydrodynamics, and the modeling and remote sensing of surface waters, with an emphasis on hydro-topography analysis. The lab is part of the University of Tokyo's Global Hydrology Group at the Institute of Industrial Science. His work integrates modeling, remote sensing, and data integration to study terrestrial water dynamics on a global scale, including interactions with Earth surface processes and human impacts. The lab develops tools such as the global river model CaMa-Flood and the MERIT Hydro dataset, contributing to global hydrodynamic research and education.

Dai Yamazaki is a researcher at the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, specializing in hydrology. His work focuses on global flood risk assessment, hydrological modeling, and the impact of climate change on water systems. Yamazaki has developed high-resolution hydrography maps and contributed to climate simulations using models like MIROC5 and MIROC6. His research includes the evaluation of floodplain inundation dynamics, the role of dams in flood mitigation, and the development of global river routing models. He has also explored the interaction between hydrology and carbon cycling, as well as the influence of atmospheric rivers on water availability.
