Tufts Hydrometeorology Research Team

To make a fundamental contribution in the emerging area of Hydrometeorology, Hydroclimatology, and Ecohydrology it is critically important to have interdisciplinary partnership with faculty and students from hydrology interfacing discipline. With this goal in mind, Tufts Hydrometeorology Research Team under the lead of Dr. Shafiqul Islam have established collaborative research linkages within Tufts University (School of Engineering, School of Arts and Sciences, and Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy), other Universities and National Labs (NASA, NOAA, Columbia University, Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Pennsylvania State University). To enhance the vitality of this interdisciplinary research agenda, the team continues to seek collaborative partnership with researchers and practitioners both within and outside USA. For example, the team’s international partnership with MIT (USA), and BUET and IWM (Bangladesh) has been instrumental to initiate and sustain a multi-year, multidisciplinary research project to address arsenic contamination in India and Bangladesh as well as development and operationalization of a flood forecasting model.
