Fereidoun Reza Nezhad

Fereidoun Reza Nezhad is a Research Professor affiliated with the Ecohydrology Research Group at the University of Waterloo. His work focuses on the interplay between hydrological processes and biogeochemical cycles in natural and urban ecosystems.

• Research Themes: Soil greenhouse gas emissions, peatland dynamics, urban stormwater systems, microplastic pollution, and climate change mitigation
• Methodologies: Field experiments, isotope tracing, reaction-transport modeling, and machine learning

His recent publications highlight winter soil processes, nutrient cycling in transitional ecosystems, and the environmental impacts of urban infrastructure. He actively investigates the carbon footprint of stormwater ponds and the biogeochemical responses of peatlands to climate warming.
