Zenaida Chitu Editor

Ionu? ?andric is an experienced researcher, with a demonstrated history of working in the computer software industry. Strong information technology professional is skilled in GIS Application, Uncertainty Analysis, Spatial Analysis, Linux System Administration, and Spatial Modeling. He's currently working for the University of Bucharest and Esri Romania. He has been involved in more than 5 Remote Sensing projects focused on Natural Hazards, Soil Moisture, AI and Deep Learning applied in Earth Observation. He is author/co-author so far of +15 peer-reviewed journal articles, +5 book chapters, and editor/co-editor of 1 book. He also has experience in a wide range of +10 research projects funded by international organisations, wherein +5 he has been the PI himself. He is an authorized instructor for Esri and Harris products. Viorel Ilinca joined the Geological Survey of Romania in 2010, working for the Mapping Department, where its main focus is on landslides research, geomorphological and geological mapping. In the last 14 years, he was involved in several national and international research projects, as well as commercial contracts. As a member of these projects, he focused on various applications of geomorphology and geological mapping for natural hazards assessment. In the field of the geohazard, much of the time is allocated to the study of the debris flow, as well as the landslide mapping. Zenaida Chitu has an experience of more than ten years in landslide field, developing research projects at the crossroad of geomorphology, engineering geology, and hydrology for improving understanding of landslide occurrence. Her main area of research is related to soil moisture estimation by combining hydrological modelling, remote sensing, and in-situ measurements. She coordinated two national projects as principal investigator and two European projects as a team leader.
