Research interests:

In the context of multidisciplinary studies performed via remotely sensed data; I am interested in working on interdisciplinary studies using remotely sensed data and ground data in GIS environment in order to:

- reconstruct the environmental 3D elevation data via UAV-based high resolution reconstruction of topography,
- investigate environmental impacts of natural and man-induced disasters,
- set up the infrastructure of GIS based disaster information and early warning systems,
- designate efficiencies of soil, water and product on agricultural fields,
- analyze the environmental impact and vulnerability via modeling according to probable risk scenarios on catchment basins,
- investigate spatio-temporal effects on extreme events of the climate change,
- validate remotely sensed products with in-situ ground measurements.
