FORTH

The Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) is one of the largest research centers in Greece with well - organized facilities and highly qualified personnel. One of the FORTH's institutes is the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics (IACM). Its mission is to conduct basic and applied research in the general area of Applied and Computational Mathematics. It has good computing facilities and a wide range of research activities. The Regional Analysis Division is the largest of the five divisions of the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics. Regional Analysis Division is a multidisciplinary group focusing on the development of tools and methodologies for handling spatial problems and datasets that can be used in regional, urban and environmental planning. The emphasis of the work out carried in Regional Analysis Division is on the development of tools and methods aimed to assist regional, urban and environmental planning. The division concentrates on the application of techniques from the fields of geography, applied informatics, remote sensing, statistics, mathematics, operations research,city planning and economics to develop information and decision support systems that can be used by both the public and private sectors. Satellite remote sensing methods and techniques are used for data capture and the study of many environmental problems and phenomena. Earth Observation data from new satellite sensors providing images of Very High Spatial Resolution are used for urban applications. More information about the Division can be found here.

Coordinator of the project PRECIPITABLE WATER is Dr. Nektarios Chrysoulakis and you can find the contact information here.
