We are excited to invite you to the Seventh Webinar in the WDC Learning Webinar Series
We are excited to invite you to the Seventh Webinar in the WDC Learning Webinar Series, titled:
“Multi-National Transboundary Wetland Governance: Hydrological Balance & Dynamic Satellite Analysis of the Al-Hawizeh/Al-Adhim Marsh System (2009–2025)"
About the Webinar:
This webinar is part of the Blue Peace Middle East Capacity Development Project, funded by the Swiss Government. It presents a hydrological assessment of the Al-Hawizeh/Al-Adhim transboundary marsh system from 2009 to 2025. It examines the ecological and hydraulic impacts following the construction of the 6-meter-high border dyke in 2009.
The session will explore remote sensing approaches using Landsat 7 and 8 imagery, SWIR2 dynamic thresholding, multi-component water-balance modeling, evaporation and precipitation dynamics, and empirical performance metrics for evaluating environmental restoration scenarios.
About the Speaker:
Prof. Muheeb Awawdeh is a Professor of Geoinformatics at Yarmouk University and a Water Diplomacy Center Associate. His research focuses on applying spatial technologies to assess natural resources and geo-hazards, including groundwater, soil, floods, landslides, and earthquakes. He has extensive experience in national and international research projects and has published widely in his field.
