• Pre-PhD period. I have graduated as a cartographer from St-Petersburg State University in 1995. Since then I became interested in application of geoinformation and cartography to water related issues. In 2003 I have received my MSc in water resource management from ITC. I have used Remote Sensing to estimate water quality. Read more...

• PhD period: return to cartography. I have defended my PhD in 2007 in Utrecht University, the Netherlands. PhD was about helping users of time-series images (geoscientists) to visually explore their data. Because geoscientists are primarily interested in image features, my solution was to focus on those features - to extract, track and visualize them. Not surprisingly, I have applied this approach to two water-related case studies. Read more...

• Current research projects are mainly the result of my educational activity at ITC (MSc supervision). My interest in the last years has shifted from the extraction of image features to the representation of those (extracted) trajectories. Specifically I am interested in: system design for web visualization of (large) trajectory data. There is a set of (water related) trajectories of moving icebergs (from 1978 till present) that I and my students are experimenting with. Read more...
