Saeed Langarudi

Saeed Langarudi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Bergen. His research focuses on System Dynamics modeling applied to environmental and resource management challenges, including oil taxation, water scarcity, groundwater management, and policy analysis. He collaborates with institutions such as New Mexico State University and the University of Maryland, contributing to interdisciplinary projects addressing sustainability and resource governance.

Langarudi’s work emphasizes dynamic simulation to explore complex systems, particularly in energy and water sectors. His recent studies include modeling New Mexico’s oil production taxation, reference mode elicitation in System Dynamics, and transboundary aquifer prioritization. He also investigates socio-technical policy frameworks for desalination and agricultural water use efficiency.

• Key Research Themes: System Dynamics theory, resource management, environmental policy, hydrology, and sustainability.
• Collaborations: Active partnerships with New Mexico State University, University of Maryland, and James Madison University.

His publications highlight innovative applications of System Dynamics to real-world challenges, such as mitigating drought in drylands and addressing the tragedy of the commons in groundwater use. Despite prolific output, no scientific awards are explicitly noted in the provided materials.
