Kabir Rasouli

Biography

Kabir Rasouli is finishing his PhD in physical geography at the University of Saskatchewan. He has two Master’s degrees in hydrology and atmospheric science with seven years of research and work experience on different hydrometeorologic projects. He graduated from the University of British Columbia in 2010 and worked on streamflow forecasting incorporating NWP models and climate indices using machine learning methods.

Kabir Rasouli’s research interests include climate change impacts on snow hydrology; vegetation changes under warmer climates; statistical and dynamical downscaling; and mountain hydrology.

Some of his projects experiences include:

• Physical modelling of cold regions hydrological sensitivity to climate and vegetation changes in mountains ranging from Yukon, Canada to Idaho, USA;

• Statistical analysis of streamflow variability with water temperature in Fraser River, BC, Canada;

• Lake Athabasca hydrology, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Canada; and

• Machine learning based short-time flow forecasts on coastal basins of BC considering large-scale meteorological signals.
