Gamberi Fabiano

Research scientist  at the Institute of Marine Sciences in Bologna of the National Research Council since 1996. He has been involved in a number of projects aimed at the collection of multibeam, sidescan sonar, seismics data and seafloor samples in the Italian Seas. He has worked on the definition of hydrothermal processes and mineralization on the submerged portions of volcanic Islands and seamounts.  He is now studying submarine sedimentary process, including the study of modern deep sea depositional systems, and their linkage with tectonics, sea level variations and basin topography. He is also working on fossil examples of deep sea depositional systems with field work being carried out in the Apennines, the Dolomites and south-eastern France. He is also carrying out researches aimed at the definition of the impact of fluid migration on subsurface sediment deformation, seafloor instability and landslide processes. He is also working on the recognition and study of the natural hazards due to the geological processes at work in the marine environment. He is ISMAR coordinator of the MAGIC project: “Marine Geohazards along the Italian Coasts”, an integrated research project for acquiring high-resolution morphobathymetry and producing geohazard maps of the continental margins of Italy. He is currently member of the ISMAR “Scientific Management Committee”. He works in cooperation with petroleum companies and other companies.

He has written more than 20 scientific papers in ISI journals and numerous out-reach articles and interviews in popular scientific news sites. He was editor of “From Seafloor to Deep Mantle: Architecture of the Tyrrhenian Backarc Basin” (Memorie Descrittive della Carta Geologica d'Italia, volume LXIV, 2004), a collection of the most recent research results concerning the Tyrrhenian –Apeninne system.
