A. (Alexandru) Mihai Lăpădat

Profile

I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Geoscience & Remote Sensing since January 2024. My master's research focused on applying low-cost GNSS for structural deformation monitoring within the same department. Following two years of seismo-geodetic research in Alaska and synthesizing slip models, I returned to pursue research in geodesy, specializing in sea-level and land subsidence monitoring. My current PhD work revolves around developing strategies to estimate land subsidence and sea level rise in countries below sea level, such as the Netherlands, Singapore, and Indonesia, employing classical and modern geodetic techniques, with a primary emphasis on InSAR + GNSS.

Research

My research focuses on developing methodologies to estimate land subsidence and sea-level rise in countries below sea level, including the Netherlands, Singapore, and Indonesia, within the framework of the 3SISTERS project. The project's objective is to devise optimal methods for integrating various geodetic techniques, leveraging both past and present technologies and data sources. The goal is to establish long time series and a geodetic datum for effective monitoring of land subsidence and sea-level rise.
