Research Abstract |
Dr. Imam is interested in the application of satellite data, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and information technologies in hydrology and water resources. His current research activities focus on the utilization of remote sensing data to study the impacts of climate variability on water resource availability and hydrologic responses of both urban and natural watersheds, and to improve the representation spatial variability of hydrologic properties and processes in predictive models using geostatistical and uncertainty analysis techniques. Dr. Imam collaborates with scientists from several agencies including NASA, the National Weather Service, and the USDA-Agricultural Research Service. As a member of the UCI-Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing(CHRS), Dr. Imam works on several projects aiming at improving access to and utility of remote sensing data to scientists and to decision makers. |
