Samia Mahmoud El-Marsafawy Agro-meteorologist

Agrometeorology & Climate Change specialist

Agricultural Research Center

My background in soil, water and agro-climatology enables me to cover

enough range of requirements in On-Farm Water Management, and Climate

Change studies. Also, have outstanding experiences in the use and

application of internationally recognized computer programs on crop water

requirements, irrigation scheduling and crop yield simulation models and

have been associated with the Agricultural Research Center for about 25

years as a research fellow. Carrying out more than 50 publications on

climate change crop modeling studies (Vulnerability & Adaptation in the

agriculture sector) and optimized field irrigation and fertilization schemes.

FIELD OF INTEREST

Studies on the potential impacts of climate change on agriculture sector in Egypt

(impacts on yield, water consumptive use, farm net return and economic return from

water unit).

1. Mitigate the potential effects of climate change on the agriculture sector

through analysis and evaluation of adaptation strategies and determining the

effective ones to reduce the adverse impacts and improve opportunities of

the expected climate change on the agriculture sector.

2. Future climate change economic studies to evaluate farm net revenue under

climate change conditions with and without adaptation options.

3. Estimation of water needs for field crops, orchard trees and vegetables in the

old and new lands under different regions in Egypt.

4. Prediction of yield and water consumptive use under different soil types,

irrigation regime and agroclimatological zones

5. Prediction of reduction of yield under different water deficit at different growth

stages, and determined the stages are more vulnerable to water deficit.

6. Calculate crop water productivity from all predicted results and select the

optimum one.

7. Determined the optimum water amounts in each irrigation for different crops.

8. Suitable irrigation intervals give optimum yield.

9. Scheduling irrigation using the evaporation pan method.

10. Studies on the relation between irrigation amounts and different fertilization

levels and their effect on soil characteristics.

PRESENTATIONS

Collaboration with training and extension efforts more presentation in the areas of

scheduling irrigation (time and quantity of applied water). In addition, presentations

about the impacts of climate change on crop production and water consumption and

how to reduce the adverse impact of climate change on agriculture sector.
