07 December 2012: Abebe S. Gebregiorgis has made an oral presentation at American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall conference held in San Francisco, CA from Dec 3-7, 2012. The topic of his talk was ‘Satellite rainfall uncertainty estimation by mathematical model using geophysical features and rainfall rate’. Get the ppt here

16 May 2012: Abebe S. Gebregiorgis has awarded the prestigious NASA's Earth and Space Science Fellowship (NESSF) for research proposal titled ‘Satellite Rainfall Uncertainty Estimation across the Globe for Diverse Hydrologic Applications Using Readily Accessible Geophysical Features.’ The broader impact of the proposal is a comprehensive improvement of the next generation satellite-based precipitation retrieval algorithms that will need a wholesale conceptual redesign during the post-launch era of Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The proposed study will be conducted at global level that includes United State of America (USA), Europe/Mediterranean, Australia, Bangladesh, and Ethiopia. He was one of the 54 selected successful applicants from a pool of 287 nationally. Additional information on this news can be found from the following links.

25 February 2012: Abebe S. Gebregiorgis has attended the AGU Chapman Conference on Remote Sensing of the Terrestrial Water Cycle that was conducted at Kona, Hawaii, USA from 19 –22 February 2012. The focus of the conference was to synthesize the current status of hydrologic remote sensing and determine the necessary next steps for the study of the water cycle. Targeted areas of interest include Precipitation, Snow and Cold Regions, Groundwater and Surface Water Storage, Soil Moisture, and Evapotranspiration. These topics areas are closely aligned with new or upcoming NASA and international satellite missions. Mr. Gebregiorgis has presented a poster entitled "Tracing Hydrologic Model Simulation Error as Function of Satellite Rainfall Estimation Bias Components and Land Use and Land Cover Conditions." download poster

15 December 2011: Abebe S. Gebregiorgis has awarded a travel grant from American Geophysical Union (AGU) to participate and present a poster at Chapman Conference on Remote Sensing of the Terrestrial Water Cycle which is going to be held in Kona, Hawaii, USA from February 19 - 22, 2012.

10 April 2011: Mr. Abebe S. Gebregiorgis has been selected to participate the 2011 NASA Graduate Student Summer Program (GSSP), which is the most competitive and prestigious program at the national level, at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The program has been supported by joint collaboration of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Joint Center for Earth Systems Technology (JCET) to provide graduate students with experiences that motivate and prepare them for careers aligned with Goddard and its industry and university partners.
