Dr. Cohen’s primary scientific interest is modeling and analysis of hydro-geomorphic processes and dynamics in large global rivers. He is also leading research and development efforts focusing on flood remote sensing, analysis and modeling.
Established in 2012 as a research unit within the Department of Geography, SDML main research interests are:
- Large Scale Hydrology, Geomorphology, and Geochemistry Modeling
- Flood Forecasting and Mapping
- Soil-Landscape Evolution Modeling
- Landform Evolution Modeling
- Remote Sensing and Model Coupling
- Human Impact on Earth-surface Dynamics
Our research focuses on Computational Modeling and Geospatial Analysis (GIS and Remote Sensing) across multiple Environmental Science themes, including Geomorphology, Hydrology, Natural Disasters and Human–Environment Interactions.
