Mohammad Darand

Introduction

I was born in Bukan, West Azerbaijan Province, Iran, in 1984. I received the B.Sc. degree in Climatology from the University of Tarbiat Moallem, Tehran, Iran, in 2006, the M.Sc. degree in Climatology in Environmental Planning from the University of Tarbiat Modares, Iran, in 2008, and the Ph.D. degree in Synoptic Climatology from the University of Isfahan in 2011. In 2011, i joined the Department of Climatology, University of Kurdistan, as an academic member and Assistance Professor. My interests area are Climate Change, Synoptic Climatology, and Dynamic Climatology.
