About
Earth Observation-Driven Soil Resilience and Climate Adaptation Modelling for Mediterranean Agricultural Landscapes
I am seeking partners for Horizon CL6-2026 topics, particularly:
-
HORIZON-CL6-2026-03-GOVERNANCE-01 (Earth Intelligence and AI for sustainable competitiveness),
-
HORIZON-CL6-2026-01-BIODIV-01 (Living labs for ecosystem restoration), and
-
HORIZON-CL6-2026-03-GOVERNANCE-02 (Analytical capacity for social and agricultural systems).
My expertise includes digital soil mapping, geostatistics, ML-based soil property prediction, agro-climatic modelling (GDD, frost risk, chilling, heat stress), land degradation assessment, and Earth-observation-based soil health monitoring. I work extensively with high-resolution NetCDF climate projections, remote sensing datasets (Sentinel-2, Landsat, PlanetScope), soil profile databases, and yield modelling in Mediterranean agro-ecosystems.
I propose to contribute with:
-
EO-based soil condition and soil resilience indicators
-
AI-driven modelling pipelines for climate-smart agriculture
-
Integration of agro-climatic indices into decision-support frameworks
-
Fuzzy clustering & management zones for landscape-scale interventions
-
Multi-sensor data fusion for soil biodiversity and ecosystem restoration studies
I am open to joining consortiums as a researcher or work package contributor, especially in tasks related to soil sampling and mapping, soil monitoring studies (Now EU has a soil monitoring law, but Turkey no, but I'm detailed following from EU soil monitoring law proposal to approve stage) climate adaptation modelling, and data processing/analytics.
Key expertise: Soil Science, Soil survey, Digital soil mapping, EO, ML, climate modelling, SOC, pedology, AI for agriculture, resilience to climate change in Mediterranean biogeography.
