SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY

Geochemistry, paleoclimatology and geochronology of continental sediments

• Production and interpretation of time series of geochemical data (stable isotope composition of O and C, composition of major and trace elements, characterization and quantification of the organic component) from quaternary speleothems and lacustrine sequences, aimed at the reconstruction of paleoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental evolution.
• Reconstruction of paleo-hydrological, paleo-environmental and paleo-climatic variability of the central Mediterranean, in response to the influence of global climatic forcing and extra-regional climatic teleconnections, with particular attention to abrupt variations at secular and millennial scale.
• Reconstruction of the impact of climate change on a regional and global scale on the central Apennines water resources.

Environmental geochemistry of karst and lake systems

• Hydrogeochemical and microclimatic monitoring of karst systems, monitoring and hydrogeochemical characterization of lake systems, aimed at reconstructing processes and environmental parameters influencing the deposition of continental sediments and useful for paleoclimatic interpretation.

Tephrostratigraphy and tephrochronology

• Research and characterization of tephra and crypto-tephra of distal sites, aimed at the stratigraphic and temporal correlation of paleoclimatic sequences.
