Anvar Kodirov

I obtained my academic background in Chemistry and Ecology from Kurghonteppa state University after N. Khusrav, Tajikistan, in 2006. From 2006 to 2009, I pursued PhD studies in climate and sustainable development at the Institute of water problems, hydropower, and ecology under the National academy of sciences of Tajikistan. I was a trainee at Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria, from 2012 to 2013. Additionally, I participated in international training programs on climate change and sustainable development at TERI (India, 2009), the Geography Institute (Kazakhstan, 2012), the Institute of atmospheric physics (China, 2015), the German-Kazakh University (Kazakhstan, 2015), and the USGS (USA, 2016).

My research focuses on the impacts of climate change, sustainable development, and the investigation of natural hazards related to water.

I am the author of two monographs and over 100 scientific papers published in academic journals and presented at various scientific events in both Russian and English.

I have served as an advisor/consultant to several national and international organizations, including the Agency of Hydrometeorology of Tajikistan, the Environmental Committee under the Government of Tajikistan, the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources of Tajikistan, IFAS, WMO, IAEA, UNESCO, GIZ, and TEMPUS.

I was a recipient of the Research Grant of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan (2009) and the Honorary Diploma from the Ministry of education and science of the Republic of Tajikistan (2014). I also received the Honorary Diploma from the President of the National academy of sciences of Tajikistan (2014), a Certificate of Honor from the Tajik state University of commerce (2014), and 10 certificates from international scientific events.

Since 2010, I have served as the Head of the Young Scientists Council at the Institute of water problems, hydropower, and ecology, NAST.

Since 2011, I have been an editor of the scientific journal News of the Tajik State University of Commerce and, from 2020, the journal News of the Institute of Water Problems, Hydropower, and Ecology, NAST. Additionally, since 2015, I have been a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering (ISSN 2332-8223, USA).

My mother tongue is Tajik, and I am fluent in Russian and English.
