Dr. Anna Karkani holds a BSc from the Faculty of Geology and Geoenvironment of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) and an MSc, titled “Oceanography and management of marine environment.” She received a scholarship from NKUA for her PhD, titled “Study of the geomorphological and environmental evolution of the coastal zone of Central Cyclades” through the study of submerged beachrocks and coring in the coastal zone of Paros and Naxos. In 2014, she received a grant from DAAD for training on optically stimulated luminescence at the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics, Hanover (Germany). Her research interests are mostly focused on geomorphology, coastal geomorphology, natural hazards, paleogeography, and sea level changes. She has participated in a number of research programs related to geomorphology and the environment (Erasmus+, Bilateral Programme Greece–France, Cooperation 2011, INTERREG MED, FP7, COST Action ES0701). She has 15 publications in scientific journals and 26 conference papers. She is also actively involved in the organization of conferences, workshops, and training schools related to geomorphological subjects.
