Dimitar Ouzounov (Bulgarian: Димитър Узунов) is a Bulgarian–American geophysicist, research scientist, academic, and author. He is a research professor of geophysics at Institute for Earth, Computing, Human and Observing (Institute for ECHO), Chapman University.[1]
Ouzounov has worked in cross-disciplinary problem-solving related to Earth system science, Geophysics, and Natural Hazards, with a focus on geohazards, earthquake science, geospace observations, and the interaction between geospheres. In particular, he has researched using near-space Earth observations to study geodynamic processes and contributed to the validation of a new geophysical theory related to earthquake processes. Using data from an electromagnetic environment survey of the Earth, he developed diagnostics of the atmospheric environment related to natural and man-made disasters as well. He has also co-authored three books, including The Possibility of Earthquake Forecasting: Learning from Nature, twelve book chapters as well as published 74 refereed journal paper.[2][3] in addition to having three patents.[4]
