He has established four international research laboratories in the Department of the Environmental Physics of UoA. He has published 11 Books-monographs of SPRINGER, 3 Books-monographs of CRC and MATRIX ROM and more than 300 research papers and contributed with specific chapters to 6 more international books in the fields of Remote Sensing, Atmospheric Physics & Chemistry, and Environmental Change. Also, he has published 5 university Books-monographs in Greek in the field of Atmospheric Physics/Chemistry and Climate.

He is Honorary Professor of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Fellow (elected) of the Royal Meteorological Society (Oxford, UK) and full Member (elected) of the World Academy of Sciences (1st Class) and of the European Academy of Natural Sciences (Hanover, Germany). He is regular or complimentary member of several scientific societies including the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union and the European Geophysical Union. He has convened several Sessions in Iinternational Symposia.

He has coordinated or participated in more than 40 large international research competitive projects, funded by International Organizations (e.g. European Commission, NATO, WMO).

He has been appointed as Specialty Chief Editor of Frontiers in Environmental Science of the NATURE Publishing Group (2013-2019), Associate Editor of the “International Journal of Remote Sensing” of T&F (since 2006), Editor of the “Remote Sensing Letters” of T&F (since 2010), Editor of The Scientific World Journal of Hindawi Publ. Co.
