About

Maryam Gharibzadeh is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol optical properties, radiative forcing, and aerosol classification, with a particular emphasis on the Middle East and Northwest Iran. Her work has made significant contributions to understanding how airborne particles — including dust, urban pollutants, and other aerosols — influence regional climate and solar radiation budgets. Gharibzadeh's most impactful studies, each garnering 27 citations, examined aerosol optical depth, Angström exponents, single scattering albedo, and direct radiative forcing over Zanjan, Iran, providing some of the most detailed local aerosol characterizations available for the region. Her innovative application of multiple clustering techniques to classify aerosol types by season — cited 22 times — demonstrated how diverse aerosol sources can be systematically distinguished using optical data alone. Expanding her geographic scope, her 2019 climatological analysis of the Middle East brought regional significance to her findings, accumulating 21 citations. Collectively, her body of work has helped fill a critical knowledge gap in aerosol science for an understudied yet dust-prone region, offering valuable data for climate modelers, environmental policymakers, and researchers studying long-range aerosol transport across the Middle East.
