Eylon obtained his B.Sc. degree in plant sciences from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1994. In 1995 he moved to Tucson Arizona and obtained his master degree in Soil Water and Environmental Sciences. For his master thesis he studied the application of constructed wetland for wastewater treatment.   Following his graduation Dr. Shamir joined the Department of Flood Control Pima County as a hydrologist working on the flash flood warning system.  He went back to the University of Arizona and received his Ph.D in Hydrology and Water Resources in 2003.    His Ph.D. dissertation is concerned with land surface hydrologic models and model parameters estimation schemes that are scale dependent and maintaining the physical characteristics of the basins.  His main interests are in hydrologic modeling, flood forecasting, and application of remotely-sensed data in flow forecasting.  He is also interested in the effect of climate variability on the hydrologic cycle and stochastic hydrology for risk assessment of water resources for planning and management.
