Prof. Seyed Mohammad Jafar Nazemosadat | Ecology | Best Researcher Award

Academic at Shiraz University | Iran

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Jafar Nazemosadat is a distinguished climatologist and agro-meteorologist whose pioneering research has significantly advanced the understanding of climate dynamics in the Middle East. His work has illuminated the complex interactions between oceanic, atmospheric, and terrestrial systems, particularly emphasizing how phenomena such as ENSO, the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO), and the Atlantic Meridional Oscillation (AMO) influence precipitation and temperature variability across Iran and neighboring regions. He has led extensive studies on climate change impacts, drought forecasting, and land-use dynamics, integrating remote sensing and satellite-based data analysis into agricultural meteorology. His seminal contribution established the first proven linkage between Iran’s precipitation patterns and ENSO—a breakthrough that reshaped regional climate modeling approaches. As founder of the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Centre at Shiraz University, he has fostered interdisciplinary research on satellite-based climate monitoring. With over 40 English-indexed journal publications, 55 Persian papers, and 100 conference contributions, Prof. Nazemosadat’s work has had enduring influence on sustainable water and land management strategies in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. His scholarly impact and leadership exemplify excellence in ecological and atmospheric research, positioning him as a deserving candidate for the Best Researcher Award.
