Dr. John P. Tiefenbacher (Ph.D., Rutgers, 1992) is a professor of Geography at Texas State University. His research has focused on various aspects of hazards and environmental management. Dr. Tiefenbacher has published on a diverse array of topics that examine perception and behaviors with regards to the application of pesticides, releases of toxic chemicals, environments of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, wildlife hazards, and the geography of

wine. More recently his work pertains to the adaptation to climate change, spatial responses of wine growing to climate change, the geographies of viticulture and wine, artificial intelligence and machine learning to predict patterns of natural processes, historical ethnic enclaves in American cities and regions, and environmental adaptation by European immigrants to North America.

Dr. Davod Poreh Ph.D. is a member of DIETI Department of Electrical Engineering in University of Naples Federico II. He has been working in radar satellite/airborne remote sensing, laser remote sensing, and passive satellite remote sensing in many European countries including Germany and Italy, consequently studying and producing many radar interferograms, persistent scatterers, polarimetiric data sets, airborne/sea laser data, topo-

graphic data, etc. His main research interests are in the field of electromagnetic, microwave and passive remote sensing, image processing (optical and SAR), radar, polarimetric SAR, interferometreic SAR, sensor design, antenna, polarimetric based radar simulations, InSAR time series (persistent scatterers interferometry, and SBAS), ground penetrating radar, seismic, gravity, electromagnetic geophysics, information retrieval for land, oceanic, and urban area, EO programming, and GIS.
