His research focuses broadly on human-environment interactions. He has led interdisciplinary study teams using earth system models to assess the impact of water resource management worldwide and how they generate downstream coastal zone risks, strategic water-environment-energy risks, and global threats to human water security and aquatic biodiversity. He served as co-chair of the Global Water System Project and in the U.S. has served on the Arctic Research Commission (appointed by Presidents Bush and Obama), the NASA Earth Science Subcommittee, the National Research Council Committee on Hydrologic Science (as Chair), and the NRC Review Committee on the U.S. Global Change Research Program. His recent work is aimed at introducing quantifiable metrics on corporate environmental performance into investment decisions made by the private sector within the impact investing domain. He and his team were solicited to provide advice to the High- Level Panel on Water (11 heads of state) in sustainable infrastructure investments. In March 2019, he was awarded the Hungarian Order of Merit award for a lifetime of distinguished research by President János Ader, who was instrumental in designing the Sustainable Development Goal for water (SDG-6). Foreign Honorary Member of the Hungarian Hydrological Society (2017). BALAZS M. FEKETE PhD. He started his research career at the Water Resources Research Centre (VITUKI), where his research focused on application of geographical information systems in hydrological analysis in particular the modelling of the water cycle. After a short detour in the private sector, he continued his research in the United States, where he is the longest member of Dr. Vörösmarty’s team, therefore their scientific interests largely overlap. Dr. Fekete has somewhat narrower focus on the hydrological analyses and the application of high-performance computing capabilities that enable scientists to carry out hydrological modelling at continental or global scales in details that was only possible in small scale applications in the past. Such modelling requires detailed and up-to-date information. Therefore, the management and processing of the observational records (both in-situ and remote sensing) are important elements of Dr. Fekete’s research. Dr. Fekete participated in a number of international efforts, which aimed at improving the management of the Earth observations with particular focus and data sharing to broad audience.
