Interests: Geomorphology, Geomorphological mapping, GIS, Remote sensing.
Research assistant specialized in: (a) coastal morphodynamics and ICZM, competencies acquired working as a geologist for the Romanian Marine Research Institute (www.rmri.ro); (b) fluvial geomorphodynamics and PGIS (Participative GIS), competencies developed at University of Bucharest (Doctoral School of Geography); (c) political ecology, ethnography and cultural anthropology competencies obtained at the ?Francisc I. Rainer? Institute of Anthropology of the Romanian Academy (www.politicalecology.ro) and (d) participative research methods, community development research, management of sustainable development community projects competencies obtained working as a Partnership Officer (2001-2003) at Stockwell Partnership (www.stockwell.org.uk) and as a Community Involvement Team Leader (2003-2010) for the London Borough of Lambeth (www.lambeth.gov.uk) in Clapham and Brixton Housing Areas. My PhD thesis focuses on the analysis (using traditional and participative methods) of flood adaptation strategies used by local communities from the Danube floodplain between Giurgiu town and Gostinu village, Romania
Radu Ionescu is PhD Candidate at University of Bucharest; his work centres on whistlelbowing as risk reduction with a current interest on the way managers frame whistleblowing. Radu is also the founder and chief executive of Information in the Public Interest, a whistleblowing charity in Romania which offers safe and confidential advice to those who witness wrongdoing at work.
Mihaela Gheorghe is a second year Phd. Candidate at the Technical University of Civil Engineering, Bucharest in co-tuition with the University of Bucharest. She is a research assistant in CRMD and a teaching asssitant in Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing at the Faculty of Geodesy, Bucharest. Her main interest is represented by deformation studies for surface and infrastructure in urban areas. The work for her Phd. thesis consists in processing satellite acquired SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) data for different interfrometric studies in Bucharest.
