Faranak Tootoonchi
My work focuses on application of various statistical methods with different levels of complexity to understand climate change impacts on hydroclimatic processes and to forecast runoff behavior and agricultural crop yields in changing climates.

Research

Crop modeling
Response of crops to climatic variabilities
Linear mixed effect models

Hydrological modeling 
Semi-distributed models (HBV)
Black-box models (ANN-based models)
Assessment of changes in Runoff indicators

Downscaling and bias adjustment methods:
Handling large datasets, gridded data (e.g., NETCDF format)
Assessment of different climate models’ properties (CMIP5- GCM, CORDEX-RCM)
Uni/Multivariate methods (QDM, Copula-based methods)
Assessment of nonstationary behavior
Projection of future climate features under climate change scenarios
