Research Topics

My research activity has been focused on engineering geology addressed at geohazard assessment, risk mitigation, interaction between geology and constructions, hydrogeology.

Specific research topics are:

Landslide hazard and risk assessment;
Landslide monitoring;
Soil and rock characterization, also as radioactive waste repository;
Seismic hazard assessment and microzonation investigations;
Soil/rock-structure interactions;
Groundwater management.

Study areas

Apennines, Eastern Alps, Japan, Armenia, Central Asia, Canada
