• Postdoctoral Research Fellow

  • Jan 2013 - Mar 2016

  Working on the following projects:1. Examining the capability of GRACE data for monitoring elements of hydrologic cycles (i.e., recharge, runoff) on sub-basin scales; 2. Investigating the nature of, and the factors controlling the, observed GRACE trends over a suite of hydrologic systems (e.g., watersheds, sub-basins, lakes, marshes, wetlands, and aquifers) and domains (e.g., source areas, lowlands); 3. Delineating the spatial distribution of depletion and recharge areas in, and quantifying depletion and recharge rates for, large-scale aquifer systems (e.g., NSAS, NWSAS, etc.) using geochemical (e.g., stable isotopes) and geophysical (e.g., VES, VLF) measurements, GRACE data, and rainfall-runoff (i.e., SWAT) and land surface models (i.e., GLDAS, CLM) along with GIS technologies; 4. Assessing, validating and calibrating the land surface models using GRACE and other relevant remote sensing data; 5. Identifying the structural, geologic and hydrologic settings and the characteristics (geometry, area, saturated volume, volume of water) of the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez rift-related basins using gravity and magnetic data; 6. Modeling the partitioning of precipitation into runoff, evaporation, and recharge in arid and semiarid areas of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait using continuous rainfall-runoff models; 7. Quantifying the projected climate change-related variations on rainfall, runoff, and recharge in arid and semiarid areas using rainfall-runoff and climate models; 8. Identifying the role of various structural elements (i.e., shear zones, faults, and dykes) on groundwater flow in the Sinai Peninsula and Mojave Desert using geophysical (e.g., VES, VLF, and magnetic), geochemical (e.g., stable isotopes), remote sensing (Landsat, ASTER, Radar, LiDAR, GeoEye, etc.) data, and applying GIS technologies; 9.
