Zaynab Nemr is a geoscientist. She holds MSc degrees in Environmental Geoscience from the Lebanese University and in Sustainable Blue Growth from the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS) and the University of Trieste. She is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Granada in the PhD Program in Civil Engineering (Territorial Planning). Her research focuses on the transformation of landscapes under conditions of conflict, exploring how war and territorial governance reshape land, biodiversity, and communities. Her work bridges political ecology, agroecology, and post-conflict recovery, with a particular emphasis on spatial analysis and GIS-based approaches. She has conducted research across South Lebanon and Palestine, integrating environmental data, land-use change analysis, and community-based resilience. Her current doctoral research examines the concept of irreversibility in landscape transformations, focusing on how war, infrastructure, and territorial interventions produce permanent changes in land systems that cannot be restored to their previous ecological or functional states. She is particularly interested in the materiality of land, engineered surfaces, and the long-term exclusion of agrarian use.
