Md Mamunur Rashid

Dr. Md Mamunur Rashid is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Coastal Sciences at the University of Southern Mississippi's School of Ocean Science and Engineering. His primary research focuses on coastal hazards, hydro-meteorological extremes, and climate change impacts. He holds a Ph.D. in Water Engineering (2016) from the University of South Australia and an MSc in Environmental Engineering (2008) from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

Education:

• PhD in Water Engineering, University of South Australia (2016)
• MSc in Environmental Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (2008)

Research Interests:

• Quantifying coastal hazards (e.g., flood, extreme rainfall, storm surges)
• Modeling climate-driven changes in hydro-meteorological extremes
• Infrastructure resilience under climate scenarios
• Socio-environmental system impacts of extreme events

His work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, combining machine learning, remote sensing, and statistical modeling.

Publications highlight advancements in storm surge prediction, compound flood analysis, and satellite-based flood mapping. Recent trends focus on integrating AI techniques for real-time hazard assessment and climate change adaptation strategies.

Labs/Teams: Leads the CoHEx (Coastal Hazards and Hydrometeorological Extremes) research group, focusing on coastal resilience and extreme event mitigation.
