Professor Sushil Kumar is a distinguished researcher at the University of the South Pacific, where he serves in the School of Information Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Physics in Suva, Fiji. With over 30 years of research experience evidenced by his publication record spanning from the 1990s to 2025, he has established himself as a leading expert in ionospheric physics, focusing on the Earth's upper atmosphere and its interactions with space weather phenomena. His research primarily centers on Ionospheric Physics , with particular emphasis on: Using Very Low Frequency (VLF) signals to probe the D-region ionosphere Studying ionospheric responses to solar eclipses, geomagnetic storms, and solar flares Investigating connections between tropospheric weather (lightning, tropical cyclones) and ionospheric phenomena Exploring earthquake precursors through ionospheric monitoring Analyzing traveling ionospheric disturbances in the Australian and South Pacific regions Professor Kumar's recent work has examined unusual VLF anomalies associated with the January 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption, VLF perturbations related to lightning activity in the South Pacific, and large-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances during geomagnetic storms. His research demonstrates a consistent pattern of investigating how various geophysical events affect the Earth's ionosphere, with particular attention to the unique conditions of the low-latitude South Pacific region. Professor Kumar has received significant recognition for his work, with his publications accumulating over 16,000 reads and 1,275 citations on ResearchGate alone. His research has practical applications for understanding space weather effects on communication systems and potentially developing methods for natural hazard monitoring. As a supervisor, Professor Kumar offers opportunities to work on cutting-edge ionospheric research using VLF techniques, with potential for field work in the South Pacific and collaborations with international research teams. His extensive publication record and active research program suggest a dynamic and productive research environment for graduate students.

Dr. Daniel Burow serves as Assistant Professor in the Applied Aviation Sciences Department within Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's College of Aviation. His expertise spans applied climatology, meteorology, hazards research, and geospatial analysis with significant contributions to coastal environmental studies. His educational foundation includes: Ph.D. in Geography from University of Tennessee M.S. in Geography from University of North Dakota B.S. in Meteorology: Mathematics and Geography from Valparaiso University Dr. Burow's research program integrates satellite remote sensing and field methodologies to address critical environmental challenges. His work focuses on hurricane impact assessment on coastal dunes, urban stormwater systems, marine pollution detection, and climate perception dynamics. By analyzing pre- and post-event satellite imagery, he quantifies environmental changes from natural disasters while examining societal responses to weather hazards through survey-based studies. This dual approach bridges physical environmental processes with human dimensions of climate adaptation. Analysis of his 15 publications (2019-2025) reveals a clear trajectory toward advanced satellite applications, with 60% of recent work utilizing remote sensing for coastal change detection. His research shows strong regional focus on Florida's vulnerable coastline and Tennessee's severe weather patterns, producing actionable insights for disaster management and climate resilience planning. The interdisciplinary nature of his work spans meteorology, geography, and environmental science with increasing emphasis on anthropogenic impacts. While no specific awards are listed, his consistent publication record in respected journals including Remote Sensing (multiple 2024 papers) and Geographical Review demonstrates scholarly impact. His research appears grant-supported through evident fieldwork and data acquisition capabilities. As an educator, Dr. Burow teaches advanced and introductory GIS courses alongside climate change curriculum, preparing students for geospatial careers in environmental monitoring.
