EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND |
2002 – 2006, PhD in “Science and Technologies Applied to the Environment” at the University of Siena (Italy), concerning the land subsidence monitoring in relationships with industrial exploiting of groundwater in coastal plain, by means of SAR interferometry, GPS and high precision levelling measurements (PhD achieved in March 14th 2006). Supervisor: L. Disperati. 2004, Master DESS (Diplôme d’Etude Supérieure Spécialisées) de Télédétection: “Méthode, Applications et Environnent”, Université Pierre et Marie Curie UPMC, Paris VI, France (2nd Decembre 2004). Supervisor: Kurt L. Feigl. 2002, Master’s degree in Geological Science (Specialization in Applied Geology), University of Siena, Italy (Mark: 110/110 cum laude, April 19th 2002). |
RESEARCH INTERESTS |
Background is in Applied Geological Sciences and Remote Sensing. My recent and current research interest center upon Geo-Information and Earth Observation Science to assess and evaluate past, present and future changes of anthropogenic origin as well as their effects on natural and non-natural physical/human environment. For my research I combine and integrate a range of field-based, remote/proximal sensing techniques and advanced geospatial modelling. I look at natural and non-natural processes from the field- to the landscape-scale and on a variety of timescales, ranging from seasonal to decadal processes. Moreover, I certainly like to understand the dynamics of physical landscapes without neglecting the social and human dimension of geographical problems. |
