‘There are
a number of people who deserve my deepest gratitude for supporting the ''Evolved
GE.N.ESIS project'' in several ways. I wouldn’t let them disregarded'.
Panagiotis
Gkionis – Project Manager
Ministry of Culture and Sports
Head, Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities
''Dr Simosi deserves my deepest gratitude for fully supporting the project by any means. It would never come true without her personal intervention and her commitment to the archaeological and related underwater research''.
Skipper, Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities
''Many thanks go to Aris for maneuvering the survey boat in the best way for sonar data acquisition even at rough seas and for being a cool field companion even under the stress of a difficult full-day out at sea. He was always there when I needed a helping hand''.
Sales Manager EMEA at Teledyne CARIS, Inc.
''Peter supported the project undertaking from its earliest stages, providing data processing solutions and training. Peter's exceptional professionalism and experience is a guarantee for success for those who work in the same team with him''.
Kongsberg's Technical Sales Manager
''Martin's support on behalf of Kongsberg was at the highest level. His strong scientific and professional background helped the fast understanding of the Kongsberg Geoacoustics GeoSwath Plus Compact sonar operation and data processing. Many thanks go for this excellent collaboration''.
Elias Spondylis
Underwater Archaeologist
''It is my honour to have been supported by Elias in this project. I could and I can still sit down and hear for hours his breath-taking stories about underwater Methoni. Elias had faith in this project and helped it come true giving me valuable information about the site and showing me the way through the governmental functions and clearances''.
Despoina Koutsoumpa
Underwater Archaeologist, Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities
''Despoina is one of the most energetic persons I have ever met. She is passionate about her work and highly sensitive to the protection of social rights. She is the regional director for underwater archaeological surveys, hence responsible for dealing with the archaeological outcomes of the project. Being an excellent point of contact with the Ephorate, she deserves my warmest thanks''.
''Many thanks go to my father for dealing with logistical issues during mobilisation of instruments in Methoni. He would ingest my stress and push me back to the game whenever needed.''
''Captain Nikos provided local knowledge for the project needs. He and his wife were an excellent company during our stay in Methoni. Thanks to him, we never missed anything, from a fuse for the sidescan sonar to the freshest fish in the Mediterranean sea''.
Jessica Stanbury
''The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) Archive holds thousands of historical charts. Very few of them depict Methoni in the early 19th century. Jessica made my visit to the UKHO Archive an unforgettable experience, finding these charts and arranging a same-day digital copy of them for me, without previous notice. She undoubtedly deserves my deepest regards''.
Nextgen Ltd
''Chris was asked to help with the sonar installation hardware. He ended up designing the hardware from scratch and calculating drag coefficient for the pole and sonar head. Chris is a good scientist and professional, directing a well equipped small company dealing with mashining works''.
Antonis Tsirigos
Methoni Castle Friends Club
''Antonis Tsirigos is an enthusiast of Methoni. He helped our preliminary reconnaissance tasks, hence he deserves our thanks'.
''Many thanks go to Spyros for supporting our preliminary reconnaissance tasks off Methoni, providing his boat''.
''Captain Pasas is one of the locals who inspired me for the project. He is a simple man; a unique, kind, hard working fisherman, willing to give a helping hand to the stranger. He deserves my warmest thanks for keeping my flame alive''.
Thanks go also to:
The team of the Marine Geology and Physical Oceanography Laboratory of Patras University: Nikos, Xenofon, Margarita and Stavroula for their help in preparing and mobilising the survey instrumentation,
