Zakieh Rashidi Koochi

Dr. Zakieh Rashidi Koochi serves as a researcher at the Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Würzburg, within the Faculty of Philosophy. She is an active member of the Chair of Geomorphology, maintaining her office in Room 225 of the Geography Building on the Hubland South campus (Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg), with contact via +49 931 31-81007 and zakieh.rashidi-koochi@uni-wuerzburg.de.

Her research spans Soil Science, Soil Geomorphology, Environmental Sciences, Land Management, Climate Change, and Geochemistry, with specialized focus on arid-region soil systems in Iran. She employs geochronological techniques like OSL dating and geopedological mapping to investigate paleosol development, soil-landscape evolution, and Quaternary environmental changes across the Central Iranian Plateau and Damavand region.

Analysis of her 2012-2021 publications reveals consistent methodological integration of field geomorphology with soil science to reconstruct long-term landscape dynamics in Western Asia. Her work demonstrates particular expertise in dating sedimentary sequences, analyzing landform-soil interactions, and applying remote sensing to arid-environment studies.
