Research Fellow

Dr Sarchil Hama Qader is a Research Fellow within Geography and the Environmental Science at the University of Southampton.

Sarchil has worked at University of Southampton since 2016 and he has been involved in different projects led by Worldpop research group and Flowminder foundation. He has also worked as a lecturer at University of Sulaimani from 2005 to 2011.

Sarchil H. Qader received his B.Sc. degree (Department First) in soil science in 2005 and the M.Sc. degree in remote sensing and GIS for drought monitoring from the University of Sulaimani, Kurdistan, in 2010. He completed his PhD in Geography and Environment at the University of Soutampton/UK in 2016, where his research focused on monitoring decadal land cover and crop production in Iraq (food security) using time series remote sensing data. He worked as a Lecturer with the University of Sulaimani from 2005 to 2011. Sarchil Has been a Research Fellow in the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of Southampton since 2016 and works on a variety of projects led by Worldpop project and Flowminder Foundation.

1. Geo-Referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development (GRID3) project

GRID3 is a project newly funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and UK Department for International Development (DFID). Activities are implemented and coordinated by a global consortium of complementary institutions, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Flowminder/WorldPop - a research project at the University of Southampton, and the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) of Columbia University’s Earth Institute. GRID3 provides support to low- and middle-income countries to collect, analyze, integrate, disseminate and utilize high-resolution geo-referenced data on population, boundaries, settlements and infrastructure along with other key spatial datasets for evidence-based development and humanitarian decision making.

2. Define new Somali National Sampling frame and generating Poverty maps for Somalia
