WIT Webinar: Progress toward the accurate characterization of the terrestrial hydrosphere with modeling, remote sensing, and data assimilation

LUMS

to

Speaker: Dr. Sujay Kumar,

Research Physical Scientist, Hydrological Sciences Lab, NASA Goddard, MD.

Time: 2:00pm - 3:00pm PKT

Date: June 06, 2023

Moderator: Dr. Jawairia Ashfaq Ahmad, WIT

Details and registration: MLSH - Seminar Series 2022-23 | Center of Water Informatics and Technology (lums.edu.pk)

 

Abstract: Remote sensing advancements in recent years have enabled monitoring of the Earth's land surface with unprecedented scale and frequency. In the past decades, remote sensing observations of the land surface have become available from a number of satellite instruments and platforms including soil moisture, snow depth, snow cover, terrestrial water storage, vegetation, and land surface temperature.  To support the effective exploitation of the information content of the remote sensing observations, computational tools such as data assimilation are necessary. In this talk, efforts towards the concurrent use of all available remote sensing observations in a multivariate data assimilation configuration using the NASA Land Information System (LIS) will be presented. In addition to describing the advances made towards the effective utilization of remote sensing data for hydrologic prediction, some of the challenges and gaps that remain will also be discussed. 

About the Speaker:

Sujay Kumar is a research physical scientist in the Hydrological Sciences Lab at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. He received a M.S. in environmental engineering and a PhD in civil and computer aided engineering from North Carolina State University. Sujay’s expertise is in the areas of land surface hydrology and land data assimilation systems. He leads the NASA Land Information System and the Earth Information System projects, which are comprehensive efforts for water cycle and earth system modeling by combining computational models and remote sensing. Broadly, his research aims to explore novel ways of exploiting the information from observations in modeling and to transition the research advancements for water availability applications that are critical for society.
