ICREA Research Professor at UB (Universitat de Barcelona). Experimental Sciences & Mathematics

I have lived in Bergamo, my birthplace, until the age of 26, when, achieved the degree of 'Laurea' in Geology at the University of Milano. I moved to College Station, Texas with a Fulbright fellowship at Texas A&M University. I worked as Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) technician while enrolled in a Master of Science program in Oceanography. I graduated in December 1988 and I moved back to Milano to start a Doctorate Program. Got my PhD in 1991 and moved to Trieste with a 5-year contract as researcher to work within the National Antarctic Program (PNRA). I became permanent researcher (‘primo ricercatore’) in 1997. Got married and began the adventure of the family the same year. In 2004 I moved with my family to Barcelona with a permanent position as ICREA Research Professor at the University of Barcelona.

Research Interest
|
|
With a background in Geological Oceanography and Geophysics, I study marine sedimentation on continental margins with special interest to polar regions in order to understand the natural environmental changes related to the global climate change. I also investigate phenomena of submarine slope instability and interstitial fluid escapes in the deep sea realm as submarine geohazards. I am involved in the scientific and managerial activity of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP).
I pursue a multidisciplinary approach to the problems addressed in my research. I privilege group work in which the role of individuals is properly recognized in the technological, experimental, theoretical and intellectual aspects of scientific research.
I like to dedicate a significant part of my time to the dissemination of science among non-specialists, and to school teachers.
