Worked Under USAID’s Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER) program, on a project “Understanding our Joint Water-Climate Change Challenge and Exploring Policy Options for Cooperation on the Afghan-Pak Transboundary Kabul River Basin”.
Main responsibilities were:
1. Analysis of CMIP5 21 Models data, with respect to Historical, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5.
2. Analysis of big data through LINUX and GrADS. Working on CORDEX Snow Melt and Runoff data
3. Mapping the current status of surface water availability and river flow/discharge in the transboundary Kabul River Basin; including future demands and competing uses of Kabul River Basin waters.
4. Projected impact of climate change on the Kabul River Basin waters through changes in glacial melt, snowmelt, rainfall and temperature.
