Biography
Dr. Mahdiyeh Razeghi (Maddy) is an early career researcher specialising in the integration of Earth observation satellites with hydro-climate models to study water resources, land deformation, groundwater depletion, surface mass change, drought resilience, and climate change impacts. Her research utilises satellite missions such as GRACE, GNSS, InSAR, and ICESat, combined with hydrological models, to analyse surface and subsurface water storage variations.
Dr. Razeghi has contributed to several high-impact projects, including the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) project at the Australian National University (ANU) in collaboration with Geoscience Australia. She has developed innovative methodologies for groundwater storage estimation using satellite data assimilation and surface deformation techniques, with her work recognised by AGU’s Eos magazine. Now a lecturer at the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ), she continues to advance research in geodesy, environmental remote sensing, and climate change-driven water sustainability, while also supporting industry applications in drought adaptation and resilience in agriculture.
