Reference excerpt

Seyed Kazem Alavipanah (Persian: سید کاظم علوی پناه; born 1958) is a professor of remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) at University of Tehran, and current head of Department of Remote Sensing and GIS of University of Tehran.

Education and career Alavipanah was born in 1958 in Abarkuh, Yazd, Iran. In 1976, he was admitted to the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, in the field of pedology, and received his BSc in 1983. He commenced his master's degree program in pedology at Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, in 1988 and graduated in 1991. He received a PhD, from a Belgian University in 1997 in Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), minoring in pedology. He was a faculty member at the International Desert Research Center (IDRC), University of Tehran. Still, in 2002, he was moved to the Department of Remote Sensing and GIS, Faculty of Geography. He is now serving as a full professor at the Department of Remote Sensing and GIS, University of Tehran.

Scientific career Currently, he is a member of a number of international scientific associations, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and an elected member of the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS), in charge of preparing World Soil Report and World Soil Charter (2013-2015). He has been endeavoring on a program called ‘Heat as an Indicator of World Intelligence’ and trying to patent it as a theory.

He has received many international awards for his projects, papers, and contribution to RS Conferences. In 2004, he was selected as the Superior Researcher of the University of Tehran; in addition, he was the Select Professor of University of Tehran in 2005 and 2015. He attained Allameh Tabatabai Award from the Iran National Elites Foundation in 2014. He has published more than 190 papers in noted international journals and conferences. Additionally, he has authored and published the following books: Application of Remote Sensing in the Earth Sciences, Information Technology in the Earth Sciences, Fundamentals of Modern Remote Sensing, Remote Sensing of Soil Salinity, Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System, and Research Methodology in Remote Sensing. His book Thermal Remote Sensing was selected as Superior Academic Textbook and commended by Iran government; this book was also among the University of Tehran's 80 Treasure Books in 2015.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Seyed Kazem Alavipanah

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Seyed Kazem Alavipanah claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Seyed Kazem Alavipanah before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Seyed Kazem Alavipanah ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Seyed Kazem Alavipanah

In research: Seyed Kazem Alavipanah appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Seyed Kazem Alavipanah in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Seyed Kazem Alavipanah is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1958 births, Academic staff of the University of Tehran, Geographic information scientists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Seyed Kazem Alavipanah outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
