Topic

Drought assessment and forecasting for the Upper Blue Nile Basin by assimilating remotely sensed data into a hydrological model

Research Summary

Yared Ashenafi is a PhD candidate in the department of Hydroinformatics and Knowledge management at UNESCO-IHE Institute of Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands. His research focuses on developing a drought assessment and forecasting models for the Upper Blue Nile of Ethiopia by introducing the data assimilation technique to produce better spatial and temporal representation of remote sensing estimations of evapotranspiration (ET) and soil moisture with the SWAT model.

His area of research interest includes:

  • Remote sensing estimation of ET and soil moisture.
  • Hydrological model estimate of ET and soil moisture.
  • Developing drought assessment and forecasting tools /frameworks
