Prof. Huaan Jin | Biophysical Parameters | Excellence in Innovation Award

Institution of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences | China 

His research integrates satellite remote sensing, eco-hydrological modeling, and machine learning to estimate key Biophysical Parameters such as leaf area index, gross primary productivity, and fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation. He has contributed to the development of high-resolution vegetation products by combining multisource satellite data with deep learning approaches. His work advances methodological frameworks for accurate environmental monitoring in mountainous regions. He has authored a scholarly book on mountain remote sensing and published extensively in leading international journals. His research supports improved understanding of mountain ecosystem functioning under environmental and climatic variability. In addition, his studies address data fusion, scaling, and uncertainty analysis in complex terrain. He has made methodological contributions to time-series analysis of satellite observations. His research provides valuable scientific support for ecosystem modeling and climate-related environmental assessments.

Dr. Nicola Cantasano | Ecologia | Research Excellence Award

National Research Council of Italy | Italy

Dr. Nicola Cantasano is an interdisciplinary researcher working across marine biology, freshwater ecosystem monitoring, and astrobiology. His research focuses on developing innovative methods to measure, map, and assess the ecological status of marine and fluvial environments. A significant part of his work addresses the structure, dynamics, and conservation of Mediterranean seagrass ecosystems, particularly Posidonia oceanica. He has also contributed to marine macroalgal taxonomy and the monitoring of invasive and non-native algal species. In freshwater systems, his studies emphasize functional assessment, ecological connectivity, and integrated ecosystem management. Another distinctive research direction explores analogies between terrestrial microbial structures and sedimentary features observed on Mars. Overall, his work bridges environmental science and planetary biology to advance understanding of life-supporting processes on Earth and beyond.
