PhD candidate at the University of Twente
Sedigheh (Kiana) Karimi is a dedicated PhD candidate at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, where she investigates watershed fluxes within an intensifying global water cycle. Her doctoral research harnesses data from satellite gravimetry missions to quantify changes in terrestrial water storage, with a particular focus on capturing signatures of large-scale hydrological extremes, such as regional droughts and floods, under climate change.
Before starting her PhD, Kiana completed her M.Sc. in Geodesy Engineering at the University of Tehran, where she focused on combining different geodetic satellite observations to model the global ionospheric total electron content.
Her academic journey began with a bachelor’s degree in Survey Engineering from Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, where she developed a strong foundation in precise measurement and spatial analysis.
Kiana’s research interests span satellite remote sensing, hydrology, and climatology, with a focus on using geodetic methods to address pressing challenges in the water cycle. She is committed to advancing our understanding of Earth’s changing hydrosphere and revealing how climate change alters hydrological extreme events.
