Edgar Herrera Guzman, PhD 

Expertise

• Statistical-hydrometeorology of cold regions of Canada.
• Regional and global numerical atmospheric-oceanic models.
• Multi-scale numerical models and statistical post-processor of simulators.
• Hydrological and land surface schemes.
• Tropical and Mid Latitudes Climatology.

Experience

Dr. Guzman has 10 years of experience with dynamical and statistical models and scientific data analysis. He has developed great expertise along the atmospheric-land-hydrological process, statistical/hydrological models, detection of trends in hydrological data, as well as analysis of atmospheric seasonal variability. After his PhD, he became a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Saskatchewan and collaborated as a visiting Scientist at the Meteorological Service of Canada Operations Prairie and Northern region. He was working with state-of-the-art physics-based atmospheric numerical models in order to study atmosphere-land-hydrological process by coupling climatological-land-surface-hydrological models and using the statistical/dynamical downscaling technique in Nordic basins. Dr. Guzman has extensive experience in air quality studies. He possesses superior programming languages skills (UNIX C-shell, Fortran, etc.) and has extensive knowledge of scientific analysis software. He has significant experience in measuring meteorological and hydrological fields campaigns and editing electronic bulletins of meteorology. Languages: English, French, Spanish. With Canatec since February 2010.
