Dr. Hamid NAZARI, Ph.D.
Professor
Present
Research Institute for Earth Sciences (RIES)
Tehran
Islamic Republic of Iran

Born on February 18, 1968, in Tehran, Iran, the candidate is a highly accomplished geologist with proficiency in Persian, French, and English. Since 2021, he has held the prestigious position of UNESCO Chairholder in Coastal Geo-Hazard Analysis, reflecting his expertise and leadership in the field. His academic and professional journey includes serving as Vice-Director and Deputy of Research (2009–2021) at the Research Institute for Earth Sciences (RIES), where he currently heads the Innovation Department. He holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Geology from Iranian universities, followed by a PhD in Paleoseismology from Université Montpellier II, France (2002–2006). His academic pursuits continued with a Post-Doctorate in Active Tectonics at the University of Cambridge, UK (2007–2011), and culminated in the attainment of the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) in Science of the Universe from Université de Montpellier, France, in 2015. With over three decades of professional experience at the Geological Survey of Iran (GSI) and RIES, he has established himself as a leading expert in geohazards, geo-archaeology, paleoclimatology, and, more recently, the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in geological mapping. His extensive international scientific collaborations and close engagement with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) underscore his global impact in the field. He has authored numerous publications indexed in the Web of Science (WOS), further solidifying his contributions to the scientific community. In addition to his scientific endeavors, he is a recognized social activist and critical socio-political analyst in Iranian media. Since 2025, he has been the founder and CEO of Intelligent Geo-Mine Co., a pioneering enterprise leveraging advanced technologies in geological and mining applications.
