Stratis Karantanellis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at California State University, Fullerton, specializing in Remote Sensing, Engineering Geology, and Geohazard assessment. He has collaborated on projects focused on geohazard risk reduction and response, using close-range remote sensing and Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA). Stratis brings extensive experience in landslide and rockfall hazard assessment and mitigation planning, contributing to research in the USA, Europe, and globally. He has received multiple awards for his contributions to the field, including the Excellence Early Career Award from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece.
"As a researcher, you understand that testing, questioning, and critique are far more valuable than relying on general assumptions while reflection and critical thinking are essential for developing effective solutions to complex problems."
"Engineering geology is a diverse and multidisciplinary field that requires both analytical rigor and creative problem-solving. Innovation in this field arises from a dynamic interplay of ideas—whether sparked in casual conversations, observations in the field, insights gained through remote sensing analysis, or data extracted from rock outcrops or logging.
It involves a fusion of theoretical reasoning, computational analysis, and hands-on experimentation, utilizing everything from cutting-edge technology to the power of human intuition. The engineering geologist extends the story of Earth's history beyond where other sciences leave off, uncovering the forces that have shaped our planet across vast stretches of time."
