Dr. Meghraoui completed his Ph.D. (1988) at the University of Paris XI-Orsay (France) on the Seismotectonics and Paleoseismology of the Tell Atlas in Algeria. He is a senior scientist at the “Institut de Physique du Globe” at the University of Strasbourg (France). His working group has achieved major strides, releasing pioneering studies on the identification of active faults in intraplate Europe and interplate major continental active faults. They have developed paleoseismic studies in regions with fast active deformation and large earthquakes, and in regions with low-level seismicity in Europe. In particular, and for nearly 20 years now, the combination of micro-topography, shallow geophysics and trenching in active faulting studies has led to the group producing numerous peer-reviewed publications and internationally recognized research papers (ca. 90 articles in ISI-JCR journals, 2500 citations). These contributions focus on the development of paleoseismic and archeoseismic studies and earthquake geology in differenttectonic domains (North African Atlas, North and East Anatolian fault, and Dead Sea fault), and on the comparison between regions with slow active deformation and regions with fast seismic slip release. Furthermore, their research focuses on the development of a conceptual framework to deepen our understanding of long-term faulting behavior in earthquake-prone regions, and on studies of faults in regions with the potential for large or moderate earthquakes and related physical characteristics. Dr. Meghraoui has contributed to many international scientific projects, supervised 12 Ph.D. theses and coordinated several European and international (UNESCO) projects. He has served as an editorial board member for the Annals of Geophysics and Natural Hazards journals. He is currently an Associate Editor of the Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration (Springer). In 2016 Dr. Meghraoui joined the AJGS as an Associate Editor responsible for evaluating submissions in the fields ofEarthquake Geology, Paleoseismology, Archeoseismology, Seismotectonics and Neotectonics.
Dr. Sundararajan graduated in Mathematics from Madras University (1975) followed by a M.Sc.Tech. (1978) and a Ph.D. degrees (1983) in Geophysics from Osmania University (India). He began his career as a Research Scientist and subsequently as a Lecturer at Osmania University where he became a full Professor in 2004. Currently, he is based at the Department of Earth Sciences of Sultan Qaboos University (Oman). Dr. Sundararajan has brought out a few innovative tools for processing and interpreting of various geophysical data besides a mathematical concept called “Sundararajan Transform”. He has also introduced an alternate approach to the multidimensional “Hartley Transform” in contrast to the definition of Prof R. N. Bracewell, Stanford University (USA). Moreover, he has implemented several research projects including one on Uranium exploration. He was a member ofthe XIV Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica during 1994–95. He has co-published more than 80 papers in leading international journals and supervised several Ph.D. students in Geophysics as well as Mathematics. In 2007 the Indian Government conferred upon him the “National Award” for his significant research contributions in Geosciences. His research interests are varied and wide including geophysical data processing, mineral and ground water exploration, earth quake hazard assessment studies, …etc. In 2015 Dr. Sundararajan joined the AJGS as an Associate Editor responsible for evaluating submissions in the fields of various disciplines related to Theoretical and Applied Geophysics.
