Professional profile
Marine Geoarchaeology | Acoustic Remote Sensing | Coastal and marine Geology | Marine Cultural Heritage mapping | Marine landscape/habitat characterization and Mapping | Coastal and marine Geohazard
Geologist PhD. The research activities are focused on the application and development of acoustic remote sensing technologies and geological methods aimed at the study and management of the underwater cultural heritage.
As party chief, he has leaded several oceanographic cruises and scientific missions in the Mediterranean aimed at the characterization and multiscale and multi-thematic mapping of the seabed and the sub-seabed by means of sonar systems and direct inspections.
He has coordinated and participated at national and international projects on natural hazard assessment, marine habitat mapping and underwater Cultural Heritage. As author or co-author, he published more than 120 national and international scientific papers.
