Paraskevi Nomikou is a marine geologist who studies the morphology of the seabed and has extensive experience in marine volcanic and seafloor extruding processes. She is an Associate Professor at the Dept. of Geology and Geoenvironment of National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece). She has participated in more than 80 oceanographic cruises that focused on active fault zones, submarine volcanism, landslides and slope stability, and the exploration of seafloor mineral deposits. Her studies on underwater volcano areas where new earthquakes and deformations have been taking place are critical to the ongoing evaluation of future eruption scenarios. She effectively transfers her enthusiasm for sea floor exploration using innovative marine technologies to younger students through her educational lectures at the university, creating a high-profile role model for young women thinking of pursuing careers in oceanography. She is an author of 125 peer-reviewed papers with h-index:21 (SCI) and is a PI and co-PI in many national and International projects. She was also awarded by the Academy of Athens in 2017.
