About
Suleiman Mostamandi is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol air pollution, dust dynamics, and regional climate modeling, with a particular emphasis on the Middle East and Arabian Peninsula. His most significant contribution — a 2020 study assessing natural and anthropogenic aerosol pollution across the Middle East — has garnered an impressive 144 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in regional air quality research. In this landmark work, Mostamandi leveraged cutting-edge tools including NASA's MERRA-2 reanalysis data, the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), and high-resolution WRF-Chem simulations to disentangle the complex interplay between dust-driven natural aerosols and human-generated pollution sources. His subsequent 2021 investigation into mineral deposition along the Red Sea coastal plain further demonstrates his commitment to understanding how desert dust affects climate and air quality in vulnerable arid regions. By combining gravimetric analysis, size distribution studies, and mineralogical characterization of dust samples collected at King Abdullah University, Mostamandi has helped build a more rigorous observational foundation for dust research in one of the world's most dust-prone environments. His work is essential reading for researchers tackling air quality challenges across the Arabian Peninsula.
