Postgraduate level (lectures, tutorials and lab exercises): Coastal Geo-Hazards, Policies and Regulation for Coastal Management.
Professional activities
As a member of the “Group of Coastal Morphodynamics-Management and Marine Geology” and within the framework of my academic duties, I am involved in applied projects related to e.g. coastal morphodynamics, the effects of climatic changes on coastal environments and infrastructure etc. Scientific expert for UNEP, UNFCCC, UNECE and WWF. National (Greek) representative in UN meetings. Contributing author in the IPCC-SREX 2012 report (Chapters 3 & 4).
