Biography

Monireh Faramarzi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alberta, Canada. She received her PhD from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETHZ in 2010. Monireh leads the Watershed Science Modelling Laboratory, focusing on developing and applying physical process-based tools in hydrological, agricultural, and climate models to study critical water and food challenges within the context of climate change. Her research emphasizes assessing trade-offs and interactions among water, land resources, crop production, and geo-physical drivers to create environmentally informed management plans. To date, her work has explored the impacts of climate change on factors that affect crop yields, streamflow, floods, droughts, and chemical load transport in agricultural watersheds, specifically within the mid-to-high latitude regions of the Canadian Prairies. Monireh aims to contribute to the understanding of the water-food-energy-environment nexus amidst the uncertainties posed by the Anthropocene. She is also interested in attracting postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to collaborate on ongoing and future research projects.
