Biography
Dr Fazlul Karim is a Research Scientist in CSIRO Land and Water’s Managing Water Ecosystems Group and leads the floodplain hydrodynamic modelling works.
Dr. Fazlul Karim has experience in the field of catchment hydrology, floodplain hydraulics, water resources assessment, sediment transport modelling, hydrological connectivity and linking hydrology and ecology. His primary research interest has been the development of a method to quantify hydrological connectivity between floodplain waterbodies using hydrodynamic modelling and remote sensing.
His current activities include:
(1) modelling floodplain hydraulics and developing methods to quantify the sinks and sources of sediment and nutrient and their transport across floodplain and to the ocean
(2) using hydrodynamic modelling and remote sensing to quantify floodplain inundation under different land management and climate change scenarios
(3) modelling hydrological connectivity between floodplain wetlands and rivers and their impacts on water quality and aquatic ecology
(4) assessing how the hydrological response and connectivity of floodplain wetlands are affected by land use, land and water management and climate
(5) assessing the changes in flow regimes due to large scale coal seam gas and coal mining
(6) Water balance modelling for transboundary rivers having sparsely monitored hydro-climate data
Dr Karim joined CSIRO in April 2007. Prior to this, he worked at the Murray-Darling Basin Authority and University of Sydney in Australia, Ibaraki University in Japan, Asian Institute of Technology in Thailand and River Research Institute in Bangladesh.
