RESEARCH INTERESTS
- Periglacial/permafrost geomorphology. Researches are undertaken in several sectors of Western Alps, in the Central Alps and in the Wrangell-St Ellias (Alaska-Yukon) Range. The aims are to study the presence in the rock glacier and its transformation forced by the environmental changes. Relations between the glacier expansions/retreats in the last 10 Ka and permafrost dynamics were analyzed. The investigation are based on geomorphology mapping, micro-thermal analysis (ground thermal behavior of rock glaciers) and geophysical prospections (geoelectrical tomography, ground penetrating radar).
Reserches are ongoing on the periglacial features along the Atlantic Patagonian coast (Argentina), where ground wedges are examined to understand their environmental relevance via analysis of sedimentary characteristics, microscopic shape of quartz grains and relations with the marine deposits.
- Glacial Geomorphology. The research are undertaken in the Western Alps, where the reconstruction of the deglaciation phases post Last Glacial Maximum are based on cosmogenic isotopes ages (Be-10). Specifically, the most relevant phases of glacial advances of Late Pleistocene were dated.
Late Pleistocene phases of glacial advances in Macedonia, along with the estimation of the palaeoclimatic condition and the correlation with other mountain ranges of Balkans.
- Tectonic geomorphology of the Argentera Massif. The geomorphological and geological mapping, along with the geomorphometry analysis allowed i) to identify the structural grain related to the Alpine tectonic and ii) to constrain crustal sectors with differential kinematics.
- Shallow geophysics and Geomorphology - Application of GPR, ERT and Reflection Seismic methods to various geomorphological features (coastal dunes, beach deposits, landslides, glacial deposits, rock glaciers) and geoarchaeology contexts in order to reconstruct subsurface structures and to characterized landforms formative processes and recent environmental evolutions.
- Slope instability. Rapid kinematic phenomena (debris flows) occurring in the waste deposits of quarries. Large mass movements in the Apennine chain and related hazard. Combined use of geomorphology-geomechanic-geostatistic to build maps of potential instability.
- Geomorphological mapping.
