Mahmood Sadat Noori

Dr Mahmood Sadat-Noori is a Senior Lecturer at the College of Science and Engineering at James Cook University (JCU), where he also serves as the Academic Lead for the Masters of Engineering - Water Resources Management Program.

Mahmood's research explores the interface between hydrology, water quality, and environmental restoration, with a particular focus on surface water–groundwater interactions. He examines how the connectivity between these systems influences both the quantity and quality of water resources, providing valuable insights to inform effective management strategies.

Mahmood employs a multi-disciplinary approach to trace the sources and pathways of key solutes, including carbon, nutrients, and trace metals, in surface waters. Mahmood has extensive experience conducting large-scale field studies and analysing hydrogeological, hydrochemical, and environmental tracer data (radon and radium) to assess surface water and groundwater hydrology and quality.

Mahmood is currently an Associate Editor for the Journal of Hydrology (Impact Factor: 6.4), handling manuscripts related to groundwater-surface water interactions, groundwater discharge and water quality.
