Position: Postdoctoral Researcher Presentation: Impacts of Climate and Vegetation Changes on Streamflow and Water Balance on Headwater Stream in Southern Alberta |
| Vinod Mahat received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Institute of Engineering, Pulchowk Campus, T.U., Nepal in 1997, M.S. in Hydropower Development with a concentration in hydrology from Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway in 2006, and Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a concentration in snow hydrology from Utah State University, Logan, UT, USA in 2011. Dr. Mahat has more than 10 years of international academic research and professional experiences in hydrology focusing on snowmelt modeling, watershed Modelling and forest disturbances and climate change impacts on watershed hydrology. His academic and professional experiences include assessing data quality, modifying, calibrating and verifying models, conducting hydrologic Modelling for flood control purposes and testing and developing of stochastic stream flow model. His academic experience also includes analyzing, preparing and summarizing data and results in reports, and presenting information to team members, clients, students, and peers at professional conferences. Currently, Dr. Mahat works as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Alberta for Forest Research Institute. His current research focuses on potential impacts of climate change and vegetation dynamics on the monthly and annual water balance in southern Alberta’s Rocky Mountain watersheds. | |
