Ioannis Charalampopoulos

Ioannis Charalampopoulos is a bioclimatologist at the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA), Greece, affiliated with the Faculty of Crop Science and the Department of Agricultural Meteorology. His research focuses on agroclimatology, urban climate dynamics, and the application of computational tools like R and Python in environmental data analysis. He is actively involved in courses such as Agricultural Meteorology and leads the Ioannis Charalampopoulos Lab, which explores topics ranging from vineyard climate adaptation to urban thermal comfort.

His research interests include the climatic impacts on human behavior, viticulture climatology, and the development of climate services for agriculture. He has contributed to studies on bioclimatic indices (e.g., de Martonne, Emberger) and their projections under climate change scenarios, emphasizing their implications for ecosystems and agricultural practices. His work also addresses urban microclimate optimization, particularly in Mediterranean cities like Athens.

Charalampopoulos has collaborated on projects involving remote sensing and sensor technology for crop water management, and he advocates for interdisciplinary approaches to climate adaptation in vulnerable habitats. His lab’s methodologies integrate geospatial analysis, microclimate modeling, and policy frameworks to address environmental challenges.

He maintains an active presence in both academic and applied research, bridging theoretical climatology with practical solutions for sustainable agriculture and urban design. His research outputs reflect a commitment to advancing bioclimatic science with real-world applications.
