Manoochehr Shirzaei is affiliated with the United Nations University in Japan. Their research primarily spans Earth and Planetary Sciences, Environmental Science, and Engineering, with a focus on various subfields including Geophysics, Aerospace Engineering, Atmospheric Science, Oceanography, and Global and Planetary Change.

The scientist has contributed extensively to the understanding of coastal and geological phenomena, particularly employing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) applications and geophysical measurement techniques. Their work covers topics such as earthquake and tectonic studies, flood risk assessment and management, coastal and marine dynamics, seismic waves and analysis, and tropical and extratropical cyclones research.

Several recent publications reflect the scope of their expertise:

  • "Measuring, modelling and projecting coastal land subsidence" (2020), published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
  • "Understanding of Contemporary Regional Sea-Level Change and the Implications for the Future" (2020), published in Reviews of Geophysics
  • "Hidden vulnerability of US Atlantic coast to sea-level rise due to vertical land motion" (2023), published in Nature Communications
  • "Disappearing cities on US coasts" (2024), published in Nature
  • "Widespread deep seismicity in the Delaware Basin, Texas, is mainly driven by shallow wastewater injection" (2021), published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Manoochehr Shirzaei has collaborated frequently with several co-authors over their career. Notable frequent co-authors include Susanna Werth, Chandrakanta Ojha, Leonard O. Ohenhen, Grace Carlson, and Guang Zhai.

Their work appears consistently in prominent publication venues, such as:

  • Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth
  • Abstracts with programs - Geological Society of America
  • Geophysical Research Letters
  • arXiv (Cornell University)
  • Earth and Planetary Science Letters

Shirzaei's research contributions include methodologies for measuring, modeling, and projecting subsidence in coastal areas, as well as investigations into regional sea-level changes and their broader environmental implications. Their studies also explore seismic activity induced by human processes, contributing to ongoing discussions in geophysics and environmental risk assessments.
