Dr. Shamsuddin Shahid is in academia for nearly 25 years. The major research interest of Dr Shahid is climate variability and changes and their impacts on water resources. He uses climate data collected from different sources to assess historical changes in climate and global climate model simulations for future climate projection. He has expertise in both physically-based and data-driven models to simulate climate and hydrological processes. He developed several innovative methods for characterisation and forecasting climate and water scarcity. He also studied hydrological hazard risk and its changes due to global environmental change in different countries of Asia and Africa.
