2017 - Bushra Naseem
Project description
2013 – 2017
Bushra was awarded an excellent PhD focussing on establishing the importance of using multi-objective calibration in conceptual eco-hydrological modelling, supervised by Ashish, Ian Cordery and Hoori Ajami (now at UC Riverside). Past work has primarily focussed on using flow as its sole objective - knowing fully well that the model is used a lot for ecological and related applications. All Bushra did was to include vegetation indicators as a secondary objective, showing doing that markedly improved the ecohydrological aspect of the model simulation, while not deteriorating the flow aspect to any noticeable extent. Well done Bushra!
