His master&#8217;s thesis was focused on finding the influence of threshold selection in modelling peaks over threshold extreme streamflow series using a Bayesian framework and finding the return levels under non-stationarity. \u00a0Krishna began his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at UCF in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"219\" height=\"291\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6224 img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/KPS-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>RESEARCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Krishna\u2019s research focuses on understanding compound high\u2010water and flooding processes in the Mississippi River Delta by disentangling the relative roles of riverine and oceanographic drivers. He leverages a newly compiled U.S. Army Corps of Engineers tide\u2010gauge dataset, including 30 previously underused stations with hourly and daily records, to overcome the sparse spatial and temporal coverage of traditional coastal gauges. Using both event-based hurricane analyses and empirical methods, he quantifies how coastal storm surge and river discharge jointly shape water levels at different locations along the coast\u2013river continuum. He further examines how these contributions vary across space, event type, and time by combining shorter, high-resolution hourly records with longer daily records, ultimately scaling the analysis to many more gauges across the delta to assess evolving flood hazards and inform risk management.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6225 img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/KPS-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/KPS-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/KPS-2-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/KPS-2.jpg 488w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONTACT INFORMATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Email: <a href=\"mailto:krishnapratap.sah@ucf.edu\">krishnapratap.sah@ucf.edu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/krishna-pratap-sah-165818140\/\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=oU_7SMEAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">Google Scholar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/krishnapratap.bsky.social\">Bluesky<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BIOGRAPHY: \u00a0 Krishna Pratap Sah is a Ph.D. Student in Dr. Thomas Wahl\u2019s lab at the University of Central Florida.
