Prof. Behnam Kamkar is a researcher in agricultural and environmental sciences with expertise in remote sensing, agro-climatic modeling, and climate change impacts on cropping systems. His research integrates satellite data (e.g., Sentinel-2), GIS, and empirical and process-based models to analyze crop growth dynamics, drought monitoring, and climate-driven variability in agricultural productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. He has published widely on crop growth traits, agro-climatic zoning, drought risk assessment, and climate–vegetation interactions, with a regional focus on Iran and the Middle East. His work supports sustainable agriculture, climate adaptation strategies, and evidence-based land-use planning. Prof. Kamkar’s current research interests include satellite time-series analysis, CMIP6-based climate projections, climate-smart agriculture, and agroecosystem sustainability.
