Attila Ciner:
Attila Çiner is a sedimentology and Quaternary geology professor at the Eurasia Institute of Earth Sciences at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey. After graduating from the Middle East Technical University in Ankara (1985), he obtained his M.Sc. degree at the University of Toledo, USA (1988), and his Ph.D. at the University of Strasbourg, France (1992). He works on the tectono-sedimentary evolution of basins and Quaternary depositional systems such as moraines, fluvial terraces, alluvial fans, and deltas. He uses cosmogenic nuclides to date these deposits. He primarily focuses on the glacial deposits and landscapes and tries to understand paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental changes since the Last Glacial Maximum. Lastly, he was part of the Turkish Antarctic Expedition.
Dr. Firoz Khan is an associate professor at the Department of Environmental Science and Management, North South University, since 2022 and a leader of the AEROSOL LAB (pollutAnts-hEalth inteRactiOn eStimatiOn Lab). Before that, he taught Environmental Science and Geoinformatics for eight years in multiple countries, including Malaysia and China. His fields of expertise include but are not limited to air pollution/causes and effects, atmospheric chemistry, environmental chemistry, air pollution modeling, environmental toxicology, etc. He completed his education in Japan (Ph.D.), the UK (M.Sc.), and Bangladesh (B.Sc.). He is an author or the co-author of 110 peer-reviewed research articles published in many top-tiering journals. He engages with 20 research grants as a PI or CoPI received from national and international funding bodies in environmental research.
Amjad Kallel:
Dr. Amjad Kallel is currently an associate professor of Environmental Geology in the Sfax National School of Engineers at the University of Sfax, Tunisia. He holds a B.Eng. in Georesources and Environment (1998) from the University of Sfax (Tunisia) and an M.Sc. degree and a Ph.D. degree in Georesources and Environment (2004) from Hokkaido University (Japan).

On his return to Tunisia, he worked at the University of Gabes from 2006 to 2011, where he contributed to the elaboration of teaching programs at the Higher Institute of Water Sciences and Technologies of Gabes. Since 2011, he has joined the Sfax National School of Engineers. There, he has also been involved in various research projects related to Environmental Geology and Environmental Geotechnics. Dr. Kallel has co-organized many prestigious workshops, seminars, and international conferences. In 2016, Dr. Kallel joined the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (Springer) and the Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration (Springer) as Chief Editor and Managing Editor, respectively.
Jesus Rodrigo-Comino, Ph.D., D.Eng.
Jesús Rodrigo-Comino, a graduate in Geography, currently works as an assistant professor at the University of Granada and was included for the second time in the World's Top 2% Scientists ranking by Stanford University. He got a Master in Territorial Planning and Geographic Information Systems (2013) at the University of Málaga/Granada, whose final work was divided into 3 national publications and a monograph. During his predoc stage, he obtained three scholarships for doctoral studies: DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), La Caixa Foundation, and FPU (Ministry of Education, Spain).
