In 2021, she completed postgraduate studies at the Institute of Water Problems and Hydropower of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Institute of Water Problems, Hydropower and Ecology of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tajikistan, Tajik National University and Bishkek State University. Karasaeva.

In 2015-2018, she completed PhD education at the Volkswagen Foundation, on the topic of hydrological modeling.

In 1994, she graduated from the Department of Geomorphology and Cartography at the Kyrgyz National State University, having received a degree in geographer-teacher.

Work experience:

In 1994-1995, she secured a geography teacher's diploma as a geography teacher at Gymnasium No. 27. In the period 1995-1998 she worked as a hydrological engineer in the Department of hydrological forecasts of Kyrgyz Hydromet, in 1998 she was appointed head of the Department of Hydrological forecasts of Kyrgyz Hydromet at the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Kyrgyz Republic, having worked in this position until 2012. Since 2012, he has been working as a researcher in the 2nd department "Climate, Water and Natural Resources" of the Central Asian Institute for Applied Geosciences.

PhD-work on the preparation of publications and reports in the section hydrological modeling on the rivers of Central Asia. In 2014, she worked in the project "Preliminary comprehensive analysis of the risk of natural disasters at the level of the Kara-Unkur water basin".

Professional development and internships

She completed a professional internship: in December 2019 on hydrometeorological forecasting at Kazhydromet RSE (Kazhydromet, Almaty, Kazakhstan), in March 2019 at Reading University on hydrological modeling, use of regional climatic data and analysis of the chemical composition of river water (Reading, UK), in November-December 2018 - at the German Earth Research Center for the preparation of forecasts of river water content for months based on MODIS satellite data (GFZ, Potsdam, Germany). In October-November 2017 She completed an internship at the German Earth Research Center for the preparation of forecasts of the water content of Kyrgyz rivers for the growing season based on MODIS satellite data (GFZ, Potsdam, Germany), in November 2016 - for the preparation of a seasonal forecast of precipitation and river flow in Central Asian river basins (GFZ, Potsdam, Germany) and in May 2002 - in "Uzhydromet" (Uzhydromet, SANIGMI, Tashkent, Uzbekistan) for hydrometeorological forecasting.

The main area of scientific research is water resources, hydrology, hydrological forecasting and modeling, the impact of climate change on the flow of rivers in Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia.
