PROFESSIONAL AND RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

2005-today Scientific staff of IAASARS/NOA.

1998-2005 Research assistant of Institute for Space Applications and Remote Sensing (later IAASARS) of NOA.

Dr. Elias has participated in more than 35 research projects for applications in geosciences in the

field of satellite geodesy, signal/image processing and computer science, exploiting the synergy

in a case by case basis of remote sensed optical and SAR data and in-situ measurements such as

GNSS, levelling and seismic data.

His research interest is focused on signal analysis/processing applied on exploiting active

microwave satellite and GNSS data as well as other in-situ observations (i.e. inclinometers,

levelling, gravimeters), aiming at the detection and measuring of the ground deformation and

infrastructure instability due to geophysical processes or human-induced activities. Moreover, he

has conducted tasks aiming at the advancing of methodology and modelling through inversion of

the deformation source in elastic and homogeneous medium, considering the underlying

geodynamical and geophysical context. In this framework, he has enhanced and implemented a

number of techniques for the emerging of useful signal, such as the component of ground

deformation, by eliminating the noise interferences due to the atmosphere, topography etc. He

has also designed, developed and implemented a number of methodologies for the automatic

acquisition, pre/processing, enhancement and analysis of these data, aiming to the enhancement

of thematic information and automatic detection of alert signals.

Moreover, ionospheric conditions and the humidity of the ionosphere and troposphere

respectively, represent components of noise or by-products for both GNSS and SAR data, due to

the caused phase delay of the propagating microwaves in the intermediate medium. By

combining both of them, not only the main products, the estimated ground deformation can be

more precise in time and in space and so does the modeled deformation sources (in cases of

earthquakes and aseismic active faulting) but the Wet Tropospheric Delay and the Total Electron

Content by-products can be exploited for other studies and applications such as space weather

and meteorology. Motivated by this Dr. P. Elias is participating in multidisciplinary studies

which are also being combined and controlled with ionospheric soundings and meteorological

models. Due to their particular nature the by-products of GNSS and SAR data contribute

complementary with the other methods dealing with the atmospheric conditions. This component

of his research activities can be demonstrated by his collaborations with the space weather group

of IAASARS, the IERSD and the GEIN inside NOA but also with the École Normale

Supérieure, the European Space Agency, the Harokopio University of Athens and the University

of Patras. There are a number of relevant publications co-authored by members of these entities

for the studies that have been completed (paper publications) or announcements to relevant

conferences for the studies being carried on.

He is studying in detail the area of the Gulf of Corinth (Greece) and the broader area of the city

of Patras (Greece) and the central Ionian Sea. He is also studying surface deformations due to

earthquakes which have occurred in the Island of Lefkada (Greece) in 2015 and 2003, Island of

Cephalonia (Greece) in 2014, Nafpaktos (Greece) in 2010 and Movri (Greece) in 2008.

Moreover, he has studied the earthquakes of Athens (Greece) in 1999 and L'Aquila (Italy) in

2009 as well as the volcanic activity in the Island of Nisyros (Greece) and Etna (Italy). Finally,

he has studied landslides in the Prefecture of Peloponnesus and along the highway of Egnatia-

Odos (Greece).

For these studies, he is exploiting a number of data from satellite-borne SAR sensors as well as

campaign and continuous GNSS measurements, in synergy or independently. He has experience

on processing and analysing data from SENTINEL-1, ENVISAT, ERS1&2, Cosmo-SkyMed,

TerraSAR-X, RADARSAT-2 and ALOS. He is Principal Investigator of the corresponding space

agencies for acquiring the forth mentioned data after peer-reviewed proposal submissions.

stations in the Gulf of Corinth, Lefkada, Cefalonia and Aitoloakarnania (Greece). He has

participated in absolute gravimetric measurements in the Gulf of Corinth. He has experience of

maintenance of GNSS and seismic stations in the field.

He has implemented and is administrating the daily automatic solutions of continuous GNSS

stations (http://gnss.space.noa.gr).

He was responsible for the integration of Digital Upper Atmosphere System (DIAS-

http://dias.space.noa.gr) services in the premises of IAASARS. Currently, he is the System

administrator of all Ionospheric services (European Digisonde Service of Space Situational

Awareness: http://swe.ssa.esa.int/web/guest/dias-federated,TEC, TEC provision from EUREF

GNSS: http://vanallen.space.noa.gr/tid and directory-index service in European e-science

platform to access near-Earth space data - EPAS). Moreover, he is supporting the operation and

maintenance of the ionospheric station of IAASARS.

He has been administrator of LAN, network servers and ground reception stations of IAASARS.

He is experienced in unix (administrator and user), shell scripting language and virtualisation.

He is experienced in Matlab, Python, C, Fortran, SQL and GMT.

He is experienced in SAR processing tools such as StaMPS, SARSCAPE, ROI_PAC, GMT-

SAR, DIAPASON and DORIS. He is a user in ESA’s GAMMA CloudToolBox.

The system can support the receipt, analysis, assessment, distribution and storage of ionospheric observations from seven European ionospheric sounding stations (among them and the IAASARS station) in order to develop services and value added products. In this project, I was responsible for the integration of services, which were developed in an operational context on the premises of IAASARS, as well as for its normal operation.

P-29. “Application and evaluation of terrestrial and aerial remote detection methods in the early detection-notification-monitoring of forest fires (SITHON)”; 2004-2007; co-funded by the European Union, Greek Science and Research General Secretary and private companies. The main objectives of the SITHON project were to use both terrestrial and airborne technologies to achieve an effective detection, monitoring and management of forest fires. My participation in the program was the selection of the proper required hardware for aerial remote sensing and their integration through software code. Also, concerns the smooth, functional integration and communication, in real-time, of the discriminated cores of software code which was created by members of the group for the processing of the measurements.

way the accuracy and reliability of measurements from satellite SAR regarding the study of seismic and volcanic hazard. My participation in the program was the development and implementation of algorithms for the purpose of the project, evaluation of processes and individual outcomes in close collaboration with the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris. The study areas were Athens of Greece (with reference to the recent earthquake in 1999) and the island of Nisyros of Greece (which since 1995 has been seismically active, due to volcanic and geothermal function).

P-33. “Study of deformation of the island of Nisyros due to recent seismic activity of its volcano (Nisyros)”; 2000-2003; ESA Category 1 research project, covering SAR data. IAASARS was the Prime investigator. The subject of this project was to study the deformation of Nisyros Island using satellite SAR data, exploiting the methodology of differential interferometry. My participation to the project was the production of the digital elevation model (DEM) of Nisyros from digitization of topographic maps and the production of ground deformation maps, their interpretation and further processing. Within the framework of the project and because of the necessity, I have investigated the recent earthquake in Athens on 1999 (see also previous project).

P-34. “Spatial Indicators for European Nature (SPIN)”; 2001-2004; Financed by EU DG-RESEARCH. DLR (German Aerospace Center) was coordinating the project.
