Ricerca

Most of my research is focused on the reconstruction of the recent landscape evolution in order to define geological criteria for assessing natural hazards, in particular seismicity. This includes the integration of historical and instrumental seismicity data with observations from Quaternary, dominantly Holocene, stratigraphy, geomorphology and tectonics, to understand the styles and rates of ongoing crustal deformation, their interaction with climatically-controlled surface processes and, with that information, define the seismic potential at both local and regional scales. This research ranges from laboratory analysis of airphoto coverages and topographic imagery, to field mapping of recent landforms and deposits, to geomorphic reconstruction of slip rates and paleoearthquake histories of capable faults, also through detailed studies of trench exposures showing evidence for Holocene earthquake surface faulting. My specialized field of interest is the study of earthquake ground effects and their use in the macroseismic intensity scales, such as the ESI2007 scale. I am also using this scientific background for studies connected with the nuclear industry, in particular for the assessment of earthquake and surface faulting hazards following the IAEA Guidelines. I have been involved as IAEA Expert in the past 15 years, including revisions for site evaluation investigations at several NPP sites in Eastern Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa and South America. Recent and ongoing research projects includes: A) coseismic surface ruptures and hydrogeochemitry changes during the 2016-2017 Central Italy seismic sequence; B) archaeoseismological evidence at Tiberias, Sea of Galilee; C) study of the environmental effects generated by the May 20 , 2012, Emilia earthquake and related seismic sequence in the Po Plain of N Italy; D) study of the surface faulting accompanying the April 6, 2009, L'Aquila earthquake in Central Italy; E) application of the macroseismic intensity scale based on earthquake ground effects (Environmental Seismic Intensity scale, ESI 2007) to major earthquakes in the world (INQUA Project #0811) , including the 2016, Mw 7.8 Pedernales earthquake in Ecuador; and the September 2017 earthquakes in Mexico; F) study of ground effects of the 1995 Aqaba earthquake and evidence for paleoseismicity; G) recent landscape evolution and seismic potential of Lake Como area and Southern Alps in Lombardia, N Italy; H) paleoseismology and structural geology of capable faults in Central and Southern Apennines, Southern Alps, Sicily; I) study of ground effects of the 2005, Mw 7.8 Muzaffarabad earthquake, Pakistan and assessment of macroseismic intensity; L) subsidence, paleoseismicity and Holocene stratigraphy in the Como plain; M) Quaternary drainage network, Holocene paleoseismicity and normal fault growth in the Rieti area; N) active tectonics and fault trench investigations on the Mt. Etna and Ischia volcanoes.
