Plant Biochemistry, Plant Physiology, Nitric Oxide, Plant Nutrition,

I am following the PhD program at the Earth Systems Analysis department at ITC, University of Twente, The Netherlands working on soil erosion and Remote Sensing. Nowadays, assessment and monitoring of natural processes through RS is become a necessity. I started to work at the Institute of Geosciences, Energy, Water and Environment at the Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania. Building a geo-information (GIS) and RS laboratory for processing and analyzing data for earth science applications.
