The
University of Athens (Greece) has full competence in the project activity field.
The University of Athens (Geology and Geoenvironment Faculty, Department of
Geography and Climatology) constitutes a principal computing, research, and
environmental pole within the Greek academic society. The partner having a
well-justified background in the development of initiatives in environmental
field provides a well-structured team composition up to the project’s
necessities. A particular feature appointing its vital performance in the
aforementioned fields is the fact that operates as a decentralized network of
research bodies and institutions via the expansion of affiliated experts
covering a wide range of disciplines. The team members, specialized in the
research, the preservation and the intensification of natural elements via both
their academic activities and their participation in numerous European projects,
derive from a variety of academic and cultural backgrounds: Remote sensing, GIS
applications, Digital image processing and geophysical data processing and
analysis, Database management systems, Geostatistical modeling, Geohazard
studies, Geoexploration and earth sciences (geology, geomorphology, hydrology).
Coordinator
Prof. Dr. Dr. MSc Niki Evelpidou
is
a professor in the Faculty of Geology and Geoenvironment of the University of
Athens and a research fellow of the Remote Sensing Laboratory of the University
of Athens. Additionally, prof. Evelpidou is a founding member of an
international research institute involved in the research, preservation and
dissemination of natural heritage, the GeoCultural Park of Eastern Aegean, where
she is the General Secretariat of the Administrative and the Scientific Council
and the director of the Working Group of Terrestrial and Aquatic Environment.
Main
scientific interests: Geomorphology, Natural Hazards, GIS, Remote Sensing. She
has over 85 publications in scientific congresses and journals. She has
participated in more than 100 scientific projects (national and European) and
has been a national representative in more that 45 European meetings. She is a
scientific consultant in the municipality of Thera on subjects of Geomorphology
and Management of natural and man-made characteristics of the landscape.
