ResearchGate  ORCID

А Researcher in Physical Geography and Geomorphology at the Department of Earth, Environment and Resources Sciences, University of Naples Federico II. The main topics of my research are: large and small scale morphotectonic evolution of the Southern Apennines by means of morphometrical analysis of detail scale Dtm in a Gis software; geomorphological analysis; Quaternary geology; Gis mapping and database creation; geoarchaelogical analysis in both inner and coastal areas; geological heritage assessment of some areas of high scientific interest.
