DrIoana A Dumitru

Ioana A. Dumitru is a digital landscape archaeologist whose research explores climate change, social resilience, human cooperation, and societal transformation across eastern Africa and Arabia. Combining archaeology with GIScience, LiDAR, remote sensing, and social network analysis (SNA), she investigates long-term human-environment interactions, mobility, settlement change, and responses to extreme climatic events. Her work integrates large-scale geospatial datasets with archaeological and environmental evidence to develop comparative approaches to resilience, sustainability, and past social networks across the Indian Ocean world.
