Chaima Mobarak began her doctoral studies in October 2024, funded by a DAAD scholarship, at the Chair of Socio-Ecological Interactions in Agricultural Systems at the University of Kassel. She holds a degree in State Agronomic Engineering from the IAV Hassan II Institute of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine (Rabat, Morocco), where she specialized in Crop Production and Environmental Management. As part of an Erasmus exchange program, she completed a semester at the University of Kassel in the SIA-MSc program, conducting her MSc thesis and working as a research assistant at the Chair of Socio-Ecological Interactions in Agricultural Systems.

In her MSc thesis, Chaima Mobarak examined landscape change and social-ecological systems in the High Atlas of Morocco, focusing on dynamic shifts in the biocultural landscape through three dimensions: physical, institutional, and emotional changes. Her PhD research builds on this foundation, exploring how traditional ecological knowledge can be enhanced to foster climate resilience across three study sites in the High Atlas, each with distinct socio-economic influences.
