Dimitar Ouzounov is a Research Professor at the Institute of Physics of the Earth’s Interior and Geohazards, Hellenic Mediterranean University Research Center, Chania, Crete, Greece

He received a Ph.D. in Math and Physics (Geophysics) in 1990 at the Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. After a period as a Researcher at the Academy of Science in Bulgaria, in 1999, he became a Research Scientist at NASA Godard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, USA.

As a NASA Goddard SFC Geodynamics team member, he developed a methodology for analyzing transient thermal radiation in the atmosphere associated with earthquakes and geodynamics processes from space. In 2004, he began studying the Earth’s lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling  (LAIC) to obtain a new understanding of the geospheres’ interactions associated with lithosphere processes, pre-earthquake phenomena, and other major natural hazards. Dimitar became a guest investigator for two satellite missions to study electromagnetic signals from space associated with earthquakes and volcanoes—the French DEMETER (2004) and the Chinese/Italian CSES1 (2017).

More recently, his study explores the Litho-Space Weather link through space and Earth-based experiments. In geophysics, he is recognized for applying an interdisciplinary sensor-web methodology for the time-dependent assessment of earthquake hazards and short-term warnings. In Earth Science research, he contributed to developing a new paradigm of satellite monitoring of Earth’s radioactivity processes for Disaster applications. He is the author of about two hundred papers and conference proceedings. He has co-authored five  books on Pre-Earthquake processes, LAIC, Geosphere coupling, and short-term earthquake warnings.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimitar_Ouzounov
