CIRES Fellow Khosro Ghobadi-Far uses remote sensing techniques to study the impact of extreme climate events, like droughts and floods, on freshwater resources. He is an expert in geodesy, the study of Earth's shape, orientation in space, and gravity, and his academic training has taken him around the world—from Iran to Australia and Virginia. Ghobadi-Far drinks 3-4 double-shot lattes before noon, and he likes to hike and explore the outdoors, especially now that he lives in Colorado.
