Post Doc Training and Seminars

Kosmas PAVLOPOULOS (Ph.D), geologist-geomorphologist, Associate Professor in Geomorphology and Chairman of the International Working Group on Geoarchaeology (IAG) 2009-2013. He has experience in geological, geomorphological and geoarchaeological research projects (1988-2009). He has participated in more than forties research projects founded by the E.U and greek and foreign Universities. He has published more than eighty scientific papers in Greek and International scientific journals and participated in more than sixty five, International and Greek Conferences. Since 2000, he has been teaching in the Department of Geography, the courses of Geomorphology, Physical Geography, Climatology and Hydrology, Coastal Geomorphology, Geoarchaeology and Oceanography.

Post Doc training and seminars :

Ø  Seminars of laboratorial trials soil and rock mechanics, in the Department of Geotechnical Mechanics of Central Laboratory of Public Work, from January until March 1990, Athens.

Ø  Post Doc, training in mechanic and chemical laboratorial analyses of soil samples for geo-ecological and environmental researches, in laboratory of Physical Geography, Institute of Geography of University of Vienna, November 1995, Vienna, Austria.

Ø  Post Doc training, “Measurement of in heavy metals in drinking and surface water”, with regard to the specifications and chemical analyses of quality of surface waters. TECHWARE, UETP, University of Ioannina. May 1997, Ioannina.

Ø  Academic further training (sabbatical) for six months, from September 2006 until February 2007, in the University of Lyon-2, in the Department of Geography (GHHAT) and more specifically in the Laboratory of Geography and Environment of Rhone (LRGE) after invitation of his Director, professor Jean Paul Bravard. Concretely were developed analytic techniques in core samples by region of research in Greece (laser granulometric analysis, heavy metals, C14 dating). At the same time existed active attendance in the analysis of stratigraphical sections in fluvial deposit (regions Valence Montelimar) and slope deposit (regions Boulc, Vercore), with inquiring objective the analysis of dynamics and change of systems from the last centuries until the last glacial period. Active attendance existed also on issues management of environment and sustainable management of rivers and lacustrine systems. At the same time I taught in postgraduate level in the Department of Geography (GHHAT) University Lyon2, Master2 titled “Interfaces nature-socities”.
