Dr. Helen Briassoulis is a Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of the Aegean. She was head of the Department of Geography from 2004-2008 and from 2013-2016. Her teaching subjects include methods of regional analysis, statistics, and environmental impact assessment. She has written several papers and book chapters on research methods, analysis of the human dimensions of land use change, desertification, tourism, planning, and policy analysis. She is the author of the web-chapter "Analysis of Land Use Change: Theoretical and Modeling Approaches" (2000) in the Web Book of Regional Science (Regional Research Institute, University of West Virginia) which is used as a teaching and research resource globally.Dr. Dimitris Kavroudakis is an Assistant Professor of Geographical Analysis in the Department of Geography at the University of the Aegean. He has worked as a post-doctoral researcher in UCL (CASA), University of Sheffield, and University of the Aegean. He has been involved in high quality geographical research that has led to a number of scientific publications, with focus in location analysis, spatial analysis, network analysis, spatial statistics and economics, open source GIS development, and economic geography.  Dr. Nikolaos Soulakellis is a Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of the Aegean. He was head of the Department of Geography from 2008-2010, and served as the Vice Rector of Academic Affairs and Student Welfare from 2010-2014. He teaches courses in thematic cartography and GIS, and is the Director of the Cartography and Geo-Information Lab in the Department of Geography. He has authored and co-authored over 30 scientific papers, three book chapters and several technical reports on the methodological developments of thematic cartography of environmental data.
