About the authors
Dr. Assefa M. Melesse is a water resources engineer with a background in remote sensing and geospatial applications to hydrologic modeling. He earned his ME and PhD from the University of Florida in Agricultural Engineering with Hydrological Sciences and GIS concentrations and 3 minors (Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering and remote sensing). His areas of research and experience include spatially distributed hydrologic modeling, ecohydrology, spatial surface water balance modeling, surface and groundwater interactions modeling, spatial evapotranspiration mapping using remote sensing, water-energy-carbon fluxes coupling and modeling, remote sensing hydrology, and land cover changedetection and scaling. He is also working on the application of artificial neural network and other statistical learning techniques to hydrology. Dr. Melesse has ample experience in river basin runoff modeling employing GIS and data from remote sensing and has conducted studies in the Nile basin with over 20 publications (peer-reviewed and proceedings). Dr. Melesse is a Professional Engineer (PE) as well as Diplomate, Water Resources Engineer (D.WRE) with many years of teaching, research and extension experience both in Ethiopia and USA. Dr. Melesse is currently an Associate Professor of hydrology at the Department of Earth and Environment, Florida International University.
