Samah Larabi is a hydroclimate Scientist at PCIC undertaking research to advance large-scale hydrologic modelling and evaluate climate variability and change and its hydroclimatic implications. Samah joined PCIC in April 2019 as a post-doctoral scientist in Hydrology focusing on evaluating the potential impact of climate change on the management of water release and fish habitat. She was also part of the Core Modelling and Forecasting Team of the Global Water Future (GWF) program undertaking research to improve process-based parameter inference.
