This recording is from the 2024 IEEE Online Forum on Climate Change Technologies (OFCCT). • --------- • In-situ Soil Quality Monitoring Systems • Presented by Marios Sophocleus • Technological innovations in soil monitoring are transforming our ability to address climate challenges by providing unprecedented, real-time insights into soil health. This talk will explore cutting-edge in-situ sensing technologies that enable continuous and accurate monitoring of soil quality without the need for traditional, time-consuming sampling methods. These advanced systems allow for the immediate detection of changes in soil composition, offering critical data that can be used to inform and regulate human activities that impact soil functions. • A key focus of the discussion will be the intricate and often overlooked relationship between soil health and climate stability. Soil plays a vital role in regulating numerous environmental processes, such as carbon sequestration, water retention, and nutrient cycling. When these functions are compromised, the resulting disruptions can have far-reaching effects on the climate cycle, contributing to increased pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and the destabilization of ecosystems. By defining and examining this soil-climate connection, the talk will underscore the importance of continuous soil monitoring in climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. • Leveraging these in-situ technologies empowers scientists, policymakers, and environmental managers to take proactive measures in preserving soil integrity, thus supporting broader efforts toward achieving climate resilience and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. • --------- • Dr. Marios Sophocleous, an esteemed researcher and expert in Agrifood Electronics and sensor technology, holds a PhD in Engineering with a focus on Thick Film Underground Sensors, complemented by a Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronics) from the University of Southampton, UK. His academic journey commenced with roles as a Research Scholar and Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Cyprus, where he concentrated on soil quality monitoring technologies for the Agrifood sector. Currently, he assumes the position of Senior Project Manager and Head of Electronics Beyond 5G Testbed at eBOS Technologies Ltd, Cyprus. In this capacity, he supervises the progress of over 10 EU projects, manages hardware acquisitions, and leads both the Electronics team and the B5G testbed, actively contributing to novel EU proposals. Additionally, Dr. Sophocleous enriches his research endeavors as a visiting researcher at Tel Aviv University, engaging in collaborative efforts focused on plant monitoring technologies. Dr. Sophocleous’s commitment to advancing Agrifood Electronics and sensor technology resonates through his prolific scientific contributions. He has authored numerous publications, including papers on sensor technology and precision agriculture, featured in esteemed journals like IEEE Sensors Journal and Biosensors Bioelectronics. His influence extends to the IEEE Transactions on AgriFood Electronics Journal being a founding member, member of the steering committee and an Associated Editor and the IEEE Conference on AgriFood Electronics being a member of the Organizing Committee in 2023 and a General Co-Chair in 2024, where he actively shapes the technological landscape of agriculture and food production. Furthermore, he has edited books, penned book chapters, and authored magazine articles on subjects such as IoT and Thick-Film Technology for agriculture. His exceptional contributions have garnered recognition, including the Fulbright Schuman Award and finalist status for the Cyprus Young Scientist Award. • ---------- • IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional organization and is a public charity dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.
