Taher and two of his peers will be holding a workshop at the 2022 Geospatial Water Technology Conference, held by American Water Resources Association (AWRA), in Austin, TX. This one-day workshop is titled “R and Python Tools for Geospatial Water Applications Workshop” and will be held on May, 8th, 2022.

Congratulations to Taher Chegini for publishing his paper in the Journal of the American Water Resources Association titled “A Novel Framework for Parametric Analysis of Coastal Transition Zone Modeling” Abstract Vulnerability of coastal regions to extreme events motivates an operational coupled inland-coastal modeling strategy focusing on the coastal transition zone (CTZ), an area between the coast and upland river.

Congratulations to Guta Abeshu for publishing his paper at Water Resources Research, titled “Horton Index: Conceptual Framework for Exploring Multi-Scale Links Between Catchment Water Balance and Vegetation Dynamics” Abstract This paper is motivated to understand the multi-temporal scale characteristics of Horton Index (HI), an indicator of catchment-scale plant water use defined as the ratio of catchment vaporization (total evapotranspiration) to catchment wetting (precipitation minus surface runoff).

Congratulations to Guta Abeshu for publishing his paper at Earth System Science Data, titled “Median bed-material sediment particle size across rivers in the contiguous US” Abstract Bed-material sediment particle size data, particularly the median sediment particle size (D50), are critical for understanding and modeling riverine sediment transport.

Our paper published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, titled “A new large-scale suspended sediment model and its application over the United States” Abstract Suspended sediment plays a vital role in the regional and global cycling of carbon and nutrients by carrying carbon and nutrients from headwaters into lowland rivers and the oceans.
