Probal Saha is a Ph.D. Candidate in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He is working as a Graduate assistant under the supervision of Dr. Jon Hathaway and Dr. John Schwartz. His research focuses on the climate change impacts on hydrology on a local and regional scale. Currently, he is working on hydrologic responses of soil moisture and shear strength on stream bank erosion due to climate change impacts of intense storms and dry soil conditions.

The research has been conducted by C3ER and supported by WaterAid Bangladesh. The purpose of the project was to develop a policy brief and Water Management Plan for the South-West coastal region of Bangladesh through an exchange visit in India.
The research has been conducted by C3ER and supported by United Nations Development Programme, Bangladesh. The objective of the project was to conduct the environmental flow assessment through hydrodynamic modeling.
The research has been conducted by IWFM and received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme. The objective of the project is to assess the changes in the inundation patterns in cyclonic storms’ at the GBM delta due to sea-level rise.
