Georgios Ferentinos is Emeritus Professor of Oceanography at the Department of Geology of the University of Patras.

He has been President of the Department of Geology for two 4-year terms (1993-1997 and 2001-2005).

He has taught:

    1. in the Undergraduate Study Program of the Department of Geology the courses: Marine Geology, Physical Oceanography, Coastal Geomorphology and Environmental Oceanography.
    2. in the Postgraduate Study Program of the Geology Department the courses: Marine Sciences and Engineering Projects, Environmental Geology and Application of Marine Geophysical Methods in Locating-Mapping-Imaging Ancient Shipwrecks and Submerged Human Structures.

(c) in the Undergraduate Study Program of the Department of History and Archeology of EKPA, within the framework of the EPEAK program (2003-2007) the courses: Application of Marine Sciences in the study of the environment during the prehistoric and historical period and Application of Marine Geophysical Methods in Locating -Mapping – Depiction of ancient shipwrecks and sunken human structures.

(d) in the Master's Program "Archaeology and History of the Ancient World" of the Department of History and Archeology of the EKPA, the seminar course "Prehistoric Aegean: Methodological Approaches to the Marine Environment"

He has published about 100 papers in international journals and conference proceedings with about 3700 references and an h-index of 34.

My main research interest in the subject of environmental archeology is:

(i) the study and representation of the marine paleo-environment during the prehistoric and historic period and its effect on the movements of prehistoric man

(ii) Locating-Mapping – Imaging ancient shipwrecks and sunken human structures using geophysical methods
