Nabaz R. Khwarahm

My name is Nabaz Rasheed Khwarahm, an assistant professor in biology. I received my PhD in Environmental Science from the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom. Apart from my involvement in research, I teach undergraduate and postgraduate classes in the College of Education, Department of Biology, at the University of Sulaimani.

Teaching:

General Zoology 1st year undergraduates

Invertebrates 2nd year undergraduates

Ecology and Pollution 3rd year undergraduates

Chordata and Biodiversity 4th year undergraduates

Research:

My research interests focus on:

Application of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) in environmental modeling and management.
Impacts of climate change on the vegetation structure and spatial distribution.
Land use land cover change (LULCC) mapping and prediction.
Impacts of climate change on ecosystem productivity using Earth Observation technologies.
Impacts of habitat degradation on biodiversity and ecological systems
Landscape ecology/predator-prey interactions.
Species (e.g., amphibians, birds, and reptiles) distribution modeling (also known as Ecological Niche Modeling) and habitat mapping using RS and GIS technologies.
Phenology-Aerobiology interactions, for example, mechanism of pollen release and its interactions with flowering phenophase and meteorological parameters.
