Biographical Statement

Azin Zarei is a Senior Research Assistant at UNU-FLORES. Azin is interested in exploring the Resource Nexus approach in the context of improving the existing methods for climate vulnerability and risk assessment in grassland/forest areas. She is an expert in identifying areas vulnerable to degradation by quantifying the climate change impacts on vegetation cover, vegetation dynamics monitoring (Remote Sensing), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and statistical models.

Azin supports the administrative coordination and implementation activities within the Resource Nexus AID programme, which aims to establish UNU-FLORES as the global hub for Resource Nexus Analytics, Informatics, and Data (AID). Azin assists with identifying, developing, and promoting data, information, computational techniques, and analytical tools that facilitate the sustainable management of water, soil, waste, energy, and geo-resources based on nexus thinking.
