INTERESSI

I work in the field of geology, marine geophysics and geodynamics of the oceans. During my training, my research focused on the study of divergent and transform plate boundaries, particularly in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Vema, St. Paul and Romanche transforms. This research has been realized through: bathymetric studies of the ocean floor; creation of maps of the distribution of gravity anomalies along low and ultraslow  spreading centers and transform faults, in order to estimate crustal thickness; interpretation of magnetic anomalies along the mid-ocean ridges to understan the relationship between the rate of initiation and magmatic input of the ridge; interpretation of  geochemical and petrographic data on basaltic glasses dredged along the mid-ocean ridges in order to acquire information on the formation and migration of the melt and cooling and differentiation of magma near the surface; reconstruction of the geometry of plate-boundaries and study of the major  vertical tectonic movements of the oceanic lithosphere that are responsible for the formation of  oceanic non-volcanic or tectonic islands

ATTIVITÀ

After the PhD, I work on the morphotectonics of the Red Sea and of the Tyrrhenian Sea, analysing bathymetric and seismic reflection data.
