Thank you for your interest in the Meet the Users Speaker Series event with Dr. Ross Nazari! This upcoming event will take place on Wednesday, May 31 from 12 to 1 PM EST. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is conducting a National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS) Meet the Users Speaker Series to connect NOAA staff to the wider NOAA product user community. NESDIS designed the Speaker Series as a collaborative enterprise to both expand NOAA's awareness of the NOAA product user community and explore NOAA staff members' own projects.
Dr. Ross Nazari (
University of Alabama at Birmingham) assesses United States coastal communities' vulnerabilities due to sea level rise and uses advanced flood modeling to consider how to improve conditions in flood-vulnerable areas. As the Director of the Sustainable Smart Cities Research Center (SSCR) in the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s School of Engineering, Dr. Nazari’s research focuses on applying remote sensing and flood modeling to water resources and the environment, resiliency planning, community vulnerability and public health, and impact assessment of extreme weather events on the built environment. Dr. Nazari's research focuses on the implementation of NOAA and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) data, including National Weather Service (NWS) data, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary (GEO) data, and the Digital Surface Model aids in developing maps, policies, and research for floods, vulnerable communities, damage assessments, sea level rise. His work directly responds to New York’s and New Jersey’s resiliency planning needs following Hurricane Sandy and re-defines how impacted communities can plan for emergencies and resilient rebuilding.
