Dr Sopan Patil

Research Overview:

I am a catchment hydrologist with research interests along two broad themes: (1) to understand how climate and land-use change will affect the hydrological behaviour of landscapes across multiple observation scales, and (2) to quantify the resilience of linked ecosystem services to hydrological changes in the region. I am especially interested in investigating the spatial and temporal patterns of environmental change through model-based evaluations across numerous river basins.

Current Research Group:

Parinaz Rashidi (Post-doc):聽Pond Ecosystems for Resilient Future Landscapes in a changing climate

Matthew Cooper (PhD): Investigating the Role of Forested Lands for Natural Flood Management in Wales

Rijaa Khan (PhD): Investigating potential impacts of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) on the biodiversity of Pakistan (co-supervised with Dr Isabel Rosa)

Wider Academic Contribution:

Associate Editor, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA)

Deputy Director, Places of Climate Change (PloCC) Research Centre

Member of the NERC Peer Review College

Member of UKRI Interdisciplinary Assessment College

Member of the American Geophysical Union's (AGU) Catchment Hydrology Technical Committee

My research interests are along two broad themes: (1) to understand how climate and land-use change will affect the hydrological behaviour of landscapes across multiple observation scales, and (2) to quantify the resilience of linked ecosystem services to hydrological changes in the region. I am especially interested in investigating the spatial and temporal patterns of environmental change through model-based evaluations across numerous river basins.

I am willing to supervise a PhD
