18 ianuarie 1955 – născut în oraşul Zimnicea, Judeţul Teleorman, România.

1971 – 1974 – Liceul teoretic Matei Basarab din Bucureşti – diploma de bacalaureat  pentru secţia REAL, iunie 1974;

1976 – 1981 – Universitatea din Bucureşti, Facultatea de Geologie şi Geografie, Secţia Inginerie Geologică şi Geofizică – examen de diplomă în specialitatea GEOFIZICĂ cu lucrarea „Studiul geotermic al regiunii din sud-estul Dobrogei de Sud, cu privire specială la sursele de ape   termominerale de la Mangalia”- iunie 1981;

1981 – 1987 – inginer geofizician la Intreprinderea de Prospecţiuni Geologice şi Geofizice, Bucureşti, specialitatea gravimetrie, prospecţiuni gravimetrice de mare detaliu în Dobrogea de Nord, Depresiunea Ciucului, Masivul Leaota, Munţii Metaliferi, Munţii Oaş şi Munţii Gutâi. Rezultatele au fost concretizate în rapoarte de producţie, care au condus la o cunoaştere mai bună a structurilor geologice de adâncime din zonele de interes economic, menţionate.

1987 – 1993 – cercetător ştiinţific la Institutul de Geologie şi Geofizică din Bucureşti, Secţia de Noi Metode Geofizice. Studii şi cercetări de inducţie electromagnetică în câmpuri naturale, în zonele Câmpulung Moldovenesc, Dărăbani, Iaşi şi Cluj (prin metoda curenţilor telurici), sau pe profile magnetotelurice în Depresiunea Ciceu, Depresiunea  Panonică, Masivul Godeanu, Carpaţii Orientali (profilul Adjud-Miercurea Ciuc). Rezultatele aplicării metodei magnetotelurice pe profile şi a metodei telurice (scara 1:200 000) sunt cuprinse într-un număr de patru şi respectiv trei rapoarte ştiinţifice, importante pentru cunoaşterea structurii geologice de adâncime.

1993 – prezent – cercetător ştiinţific la  Institutul de Geodinamică al Academiei Române, Bucureşti.

1994-1998 – cercetări privind comportarea câmpului teluric, geomagnetic, sau   geoelectromagnetic în scopul identificării semnalelor  cu caracter precursor cutremurelor vrâncene;
– studiul oportunităţilor de amplasare  în cadrul Observatorului Astrogeodinamic Căldăruşani, a unei radiosonde pentru evidenţierea manifestărilor anomale ale ionosferei, care preced un cutremur de pământ;
– în cadrul colaborării dintre Institutul de Geodinamică şi Universitatea din Edinburgh, am realizat măsurătorile de perioada lungă asupra câmpului magnetoteluric, în zona Vrancea, utilizând trei sisteme sincronizate, de achiziţie a datelor. Rezultatele obţinute prin prelucrarea acestora, au fost prezentate în cinci rapoarte ştiinţifice, care descriu un profil de şase  amplasamente cu măsuratori relativ scurte (30 zile), transversal pe curbura Carpaţilor Orientali, precum şi înregistrări pe termen lung (1,5 ani), efectuate în punctele de observaţie Greşu, Odobeşti, Vintileasca şi Căldăruşani din zona seismogenă Vrancea, permiţând îmbunătăţirea imaginii structurale de adâncime precum şi identificarea unor efecte anomale electrice, magnetice, sau electromagnetice, corelabile perioadelor de intensificare a activităţii seismice din zona Vrancea.

1993 – 1996 – pregătirea tezei de doctorat „Identificarea semnalelor seismoelectrice în domeniul frecvenţelor ultra-joase, prin studiul   componentei electrice a câmpului geoelectromagnetic”   în cadrul Institutului de Geodinamica – Academia Română, prin susţinerea a trei examene şi două referate, având titlurile: 1.Valoarea geonomică a informaţiei ce poate fi obţinută prin studiul câmpului geoelectromagnetic; 2.

I UNDERGROUND GRAVITY LAB (UGL) LOCATION

The Solid Earth Dynamics Department has developed a special infrastructure for monitoring changes in gravity related to large earthquakes all around the world. Consequently, an underground gravity lab (UGL) has been designed and constructed in the basement of the main building of the Institute of Geodynamics of the Romanian Academy.
Here, the department monitor tide / non-tidal gravity changes (especially related to the large seismic events), during the time-spans when the gravity meter is not involved in field campaigns.

TECHNICAL FACILITIES

The UGL facilities mainly consist of a special massive concrete pillar deeply grounded (1.5 m) to confer stability to the instrument during the records.
The pillar has been especially built to mitigate the influence of the deformations of the basement, leaving a space of about 2 cm between the gravity pillar and the room floor (see Fig. 2).
The CG-5 is installed on its tripod right on the top of the above-mentioned pillar, and protected with vertical space limiters/thrusts preventing him from accidentally falling down (especially in case of large earthquakes).
Minute averages of the observations are stored within the instruments’ memory.

The main data recorded are: geographic co-ordinates, record timing, instrument tilt along two orthogonal directions, temperature variations, length of the reading cycle, the minute average gravity with the related standard deviation.
The meter is connected to a PC and records may be downloaded and visualized using the SCINTREX software in combination with other visualisation programmes.

Figures # 3 and #4 illustrate a fragment of the instrument’ s record with a comparative view between synthetic gravity tide and the gravity observed in the lab.
The non-tidal gravity effect of an earthquake is clearly visible on the last part of the record.

REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE: THE NETWORK FOR MONITORING EARTH DYNAMICS ON THE ROMANIAN TERRITORY LOCAL

The Institute of Geodynamics of the Romanian Academy monitors dynamics of the lithosphere at both regional and local scale, by permanent records of the crust deformation in several geodynamic observatories (Cãldãrusani, Tulnici, Ursoiu and Crãciunesti) and systematic observations made in epoch stations grouped in several special geodynamic polygons (Fig. 1).
In order to monitor large-scale dynamics across major tectonic contacts, a special geodynamic network was designed and achieved by the Solid Earth Dynamics Department during the MODEST project (Fig. 1). It mainly consists in three geo-traverses crossing the major plate boundaries: Peceneaga-Camena Fault (PCF), Trans-Getica Fault (TGF), and Tornquist-Teisseyre Zone (TTZ).
Special steel-reinforced concrete pillars were grounded at several locations along the above-mentioned geo-traverses to offer an appropriate environment for both gravity and GPS determinations.

Fig. 1 IGAR infrastructures for monitoring lithosphere dynamics on the Romanian territory (EEP, East European Plate; MoP, Moesian Microplate; IaP, Intra-Alpine Microplate)

Each pillar was grounded about 150 cm in depth and exhibits at the surface a concrete cub of about 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm (Fig. 2).

Right in the center of the pillar top (which allows the installing of the gravity meter tripod), a special device for centering the GPS antenna (1) has been embedded in the concrete, for an accurate re-location each time when GPS observations are made.
Location of the pillars is described in the catalogue of the geodynamic network (Fig.3).

LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE: THE GEODYNAMIC MICROPLOYGON
TULNICI-VALEA SARII-VRANCIOAIA

In order to study connections between Vrancea intermediate-depth seismicity and lithosphere dynamics, right in the epicentral area was designed and achieved the Tulnici-Valea Sarii geodynamic polygon (TGP).

It has been designed by the team for geodetic & geophysical studies of the active areas with the Institute of geodynamics of the Romanian Academy (IGAR) in order to monitor crust deformation prior and after the occurrence of large earthquakes within Vrancea intermediate depth seismicity zone.

Fig. 1 Geolgical environment and leveling benchmarks location within the Tulnici geodynamic polygon. Geology compiled after to the National Romanian Geological Map at the scale 1: 200.000 (IGR)

TGP mainly consists of a special network for high accuracy geometric leveling located in the Flysch Zone of East Carpathians (Fig. 1).

RTD leveling benchmarks (designed by eng. Ion Dragoescu), as well as special benchmarks for geodynamic purposes designed by IGAR (Fig. 2) were implemented in the area and systematically observed during several field campaigns.

Fig. 2a RTD leveling benchmarks design

Fig. 2b IG-SSS-AR type leveling benchmark design

The high accuracy repeated leveling polygon was specially designed to cross some active faults in the area: Tulnici-Paulesti, Soveja-Vrancioaia, and Negrilesti-Naruja.

Within TGP, geodetic and relative gravity observations were made during the time in order to reveal the eventual differentiated crust deformation in various tectonic compartment covered by the polygon, as a consequence of pre-, co- and post-seismic stress in the lithosphere.
