ASCE (2009) EWRI (2010) Website http://eslamian.iut.ac.ir Saeid Eslamian is an Associate Professor of hydrology at Isfahan University of Technology, where he heads the Hydrology group at the Department of Water Engineering.[1] He is also a member of GC Network for Drylands Research and Development (NDRD) in Germany. His research focuses mainly on Statistical and Environmental Hydrology and Climate Change. In particular, he is working on Modeling Natural Hazards including Flood, Storm, Wind, Pollution, etc. Formerly, he has been a Visiting Professor at Princeton University, USA, University of ETH Zurich, Switzerland. In visiting period, Professor Eslamian worked on Multi-variate L-moments for Low Flows and Soil Moisture Interaction with Professor Eric F. Wood from Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences of Princeton University. He has contributed to more than 300 publications in journals, books, or as technical reports. He is Founder and Chief Editor of both International Journal of Hydrology Science and Technology and Journal of Flood Engineering. After David Maidment’s Handbook of Engineering Hydrology In 1993, there has been a two decades gap for updating the handbook. During 2013, Dr. Eslamian was published a three-volumes handbook on Fundamentals and Applications, Modeling, Climate Change and Variability and Environmental Hydrology and Water Management. Currently, he has been author of about 50 Books and Chapter books. Prof. Eslamian is editorial board member and reviewers of about 30 Web of Science (ISI) Journals including ASCE Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, ASCE Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management , ASCE Journal of Irrigation & Drainage Engineering, Advances in Water Resources, Journal of American Water Resources Association , Water Resources Management , Groundwater, Hydrological Process , Hydrological Sciences Journal, Global Planetary Change, Climate Dynamics, Journal of Environmental Planning and Management , Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, Water Science and Technology, Water and Environment Journal , Journal of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Development, Disaster Prevention and Management, Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences, Journal of Hydroinformatics, Neural Computing and Applications, Journal of Water Reuse and Desalination, Journal of Arid Land Research and Management.

He is a member of the following associations: American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), International Association of Hydrologic Science (IAHS), World Conservation Union (IUCN), GC Network for Drylands Research and Development (NDRD), International Association for Urban Climate (IAUC), International Society for Agricultural Meteorology, UK Chinese Association of Resources and Environment, Association of Water and Environment Modeling.

He has been undertaking National and International Grants on “Studying the impact of global warming on the Kingdom of Jordan using the GIS”, “Study of the impact of different risk levels of climate change on Zayanderud River Basin’s climatic variables”, “Feasibility of reclaimed water reuse for industrial uses in Esfahan Oil Refining Company”, “Microclimate zoning of Isfahan city and investigation of microclimate effect on air temperature, relative humidity and reference crop evapotranspiration”, “Feasibility of using constructed wetland for urban wastewater”, “Multivariate Linear Moments for low flow analysis of the rivers in the north-eastern USA”, “Assessment of potential contaminant of Landfill on Isfahan water resources”.

Prof. Eslamian was provided many course material mainly on Surface Runoff Hydrology, Engineering Hydrology, Groundwater Hydrology, Water Resources Management, Water Resources Planning and Economics, Meteorology and Climatology in Undergraduate Level and Evapotranspiration and Water Consumption, Water Resources Engineering, Multi-purpose Operation of Water Resources, Urban Hydrology, Advanced Hydrology, Arid Zones Hydrology, Rangeland Hydrology, Groundwater Management, Water Resources Development, Hydrometeorology in graduate Level.

Biography Saeid is born in the city of Isfahan, in the center of Iran in 1961. Isfahan is a historical city that indexed in UNSECO World Heritage Center. His father was a Miniatorist. He finished his Hakimsanaei high school in Isfahan in 1979, final year of governing the Iran’s King (SHAH). After Islamic Revolution, He was admitted in Isfahan University of Technology for B.S. Degree in Water Engineering. Eslamian has totally finished his Bachelor in 3.5 year, but due to this fact that the new Islamic Regime launched the so-called "cultural revolution", closed all universities, and encouraged all students and academics to work in industry or agriculture, he graduated in 1986.

After his graduation, he was offered a scholarship for master degree at University of Tarbiat Modares, Tehran. Eslamian finished his study in Hydrology and Water Resources in 1989.

In 1991, he has been awarded a grant for studying Ph.D. in Civil Engineering in University of New South Wales, Australia. His supervisor was Professor David H. Pilgrim, who encouraged Saeid for working on ‘Regional Flood Frequency Analysis Using a New Region of Influence Approach”.

After he obtained his PhD in 1995, he had the opportunity to stay and work in Australia, but he made decision that to work in Iran for improvements after 8 years Iran’s War with Iraq. Eslamian was employed in Isfahan University of Technology (IUT). In 2001, he was promoteded to Associate Professor. Dr. Eslamian was nominated by different positions in IUT including President Consultant, Deputy of Education, Head of Department.

Professor Eslamian had two sabbatical leaves in USA and  Switzerland in 2006 and 2008. In former, he has been offered a position of visiting professor by Princeton University and worked jointly with Professor Eric F. Wood from School of Engineering and Applied Sciences for one year. The outcome was a contribution in Hydrological and Agricultural Drought Interaction by developing multi-variate L-moments between Soil Moisture and Low Flows for North-eastern U.S. Streams.
