Virgil Iordache

I was involved in research concerning:- the biogeochemistry and ecotoxicology of metals, risk assessment- environmental management at local and regional level (ecological networks in large rivers, functional analyses, restoration plans)- theoretical models of socio-ecological systems.I coordinate a research center for ecological services, www.cesec.ro. On this page you can find various publications for download.For access to research infrastructure, please visit the research base INFRABIM:http://www.infrabim.cesec.ro/In the last years I started to work at the interface between ecology and philosophy. I hold a licence in philosophy and started a second PhD in philosophy of science (the status of evolutionary theory). At a larger scale, I am also interested in the meaning of the scientific discourse compared to other discourses (in particular the religious one). Several ideas concerning creation and evolution have been proposed in articles published in the cultural journal "Idei in dialog" and are available online together with other texts at: http://www.cesec.ro/pdf/Creatie_si_evolutie.pdf

Nascut(a) in: 1969

Interese: biogeochimie, managementul mediului, filosofia biologiei

Detalii:
Munca mea de cercetare s-a focalizat pe :
- ciclarea si efectele metalelor, inclusiv asupra semnificatiei acestor procese pentru factorii de decizie (evaluarea riscului).
- Managementul capitalului natural la nivel local si regional (proiectare retelelor ecologice in sisteme fluviale, evaluarea resurselor si serviciilor naturale si proiectarea planurilor de restaurare)
- modele teoretice pentru sisteme socio-ecologice.

O contributie de cercetare fundamentala este ajustarea modelului conceptual al sistemelor socio-ecologice (Iordache si Bodescu 2005).

Coordonez un centru pentru servicii ecologice, www.cesec.ro . Pe site-ul centrului pot fi gasite diverse publicatii pentru descarcare.

O alta directie care ma intereseaza de cativa ani este interfata dintre ecologie si filosofie. Am absolvit in 2004 facultate de filosfie a UB si am inceput un doctorat pe o tema de filosofia stiintei. Dincolo de aspectele inerent tehnice ale filosofiei stiintei, pe care se axeaza teza, sunt interesat de statutul discursului stiintific in comparatie cu alte tipuri de discursuri (in particular cu discursul religios). Cateva idei despre creatie si evolutie au fost publicate intr-o revista de cultura(Idei in dialog), iar forma electronica a lor este disponibila, impreuna cu alte eseuri, la adresa:
http://www.cesec.ro/pdf/Creatie_si_evolutie.pdf

Pe planul reformei spatiului universitar romanesc am avut doua interventii, una referitoare la fundamentalismul stiintific, iar alta la restructurarea sistemelor informale:
