Arash Sharifi

Arash Sharifi is an isotope geochemist, paleoclimate scientist, and geologist specializing in the application of organic and inorganic geochemistry to reconstruct past climate and environmental conditions. He received his B.Sc. in Geology (1993) from Isfahan University and his first master’s degree in Petrology (1996) from University of Tehran, Iran. He got his second master’s in Earth System Science (2009) from University of California, Irvine and his Ph.D. in Marine Geology and Geophysics (2017) from University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science.
Since 1994, Arash Sharifi has been extensively involved in geochemical research, working in leading organic and inorganic geochemistry laboratories worldwide. He has spearheaded multiple research projects and played a key role in establishing several research laboratories. As an analytical geochemist, he has contributed to the development of novel proxies for paleo-environmental reconstructions and pioneered methods in non-destructive density measurements, extraction chromatography, and mass spectrometry.
Arash has authored over 40 peer-reviewed scientific papers, which have been well received by his peers in the fields of paleoclimate, geochemistry, environment, and archaeology. His research continues to bridge the disciplines of geochemistry, paleoclimatology, and environment, offering new insights into Earth’s past and present climate and environmental changes.
