Research topics

Temi di ricerca legati allo studio geomorfologico, geoarcheologico, paleopedologico, e paleoclimatico nel contesto europeo e mediterraneo con particolare attenzione alle relazioni tra uomo ed ambiente nel Pleistocene Superiore e nell’Olocene.

  • Ricostruzione dei parametri climatici e dell’azione dei processi esogeni sul paesaggio basata sull’analisi micropedologica di paleosuoli e depositi antropogenici.
  • Sviluppo di metodi integrati di indagine geomorfologica, sedimentologica e geochimica nello studio paleoambientale di depositi archeologici open-air.
  • Dinamiche di trasporto e sedimentazione eolica di corto raggio nel contesto delle variazioni climatiche Oloceniche e impatto sui fenomeni di denudamento e aggradazione di superfici in ambienti deposizionali di alta e media montagna.
  • Indagini geoarcheologiche di sedimenti di grotta in ambiente montano, desertico, e costiero.
  • Interazione tra paesaggio naturale e culturale attraverso l’analisi spaziale della distribuzione di insediamenti umani in rapporto a parametri geologici e geomorfologici

Research topics related to geomorphological, geoarchaeological, paleopedological, and paleoclimatic studies in the European and Mediterranean context, with particular focus on the relationships between humans and the environment during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene.

  • Reconstruction of climatic parameters and the impact of exogenous processes on the landscape based on micropedological analysis of paleosols and anthropogenic deposits.
  • Development of integrated methods for geomorphological, sedimentological, and geochemical investigations in the paleoenvironmental study of open-air archaeological deposits.
  • Short-range aeolian transport and sedimentation dynamics in the context of Holocene climate variations and their impact on denudation and aggradation processes in high- and mid-mountain depositional environments.
  • Geoarchaeological investigations of cave sediments in mountain, desert, and coastal environments.
  • Interaction between natural and cultural landscapes through spatial analysis of human settlement distribution in relation to geological and geomorphological parameters.
