Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro | Brazil
Vahideh Farhangi is a geoscientist with a doctoral degree in Geology from the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (2023), where she investigated the synergies between Holocene paleoclimatic oscillations and anthropogenic pressures in coastal systems of southeastern Brazil. She holds a master’s degree in Geology from the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (2016), focused on Jurassic organic facies from the Lusitanian Basin in Portugal, and a bachelor’s degree in Geology from Urmia University, Iran (2008). Farhangi has contributed to the fields of organic geochemistry, sedimentology, and paleoclimatology, with particular attention to the impacts of climate variability and human activity on coastal ecosystems. Her research includes notable publications in Environmental Earth Sciences and the Journal of Sedimentary Environments. She has received research scholarships from CAPES and FAPERJ and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams across Brazil and Europe. Her work supports environmental assessment and management in sensitive coastal zones. With a solid background in palynofacies and organic sedimentology, Farhangi continues to explore paleoenvironmental reconstructions and their relevance to contemporary climate challenges.
