Istituto di Geoscienze e Georisorse: Giovanni Ruggieri

1989: Degree in Geological Science with a vote of 110/110 (University of Florence).
1993: PhD in Mineralogy and Petrology (Consortium of the Universities of Florence and Perugia).

Deep knowledge of fluid inclusions and several analytical methods for their study.
Applications of mineralogical-petrographic studies, analyses of fluid inclusions and stable isotopes to:
- geothermal researches
- genesis of mineral deposits, hydrothermal industrial rocks and pegmatites
- thermo-barometric reconstructions in metamorphic and magmatic environments
- studies on fluid migration in geological structures
- researches on CO₂mineralogical and geological sequestration.
Experimental laboratory researches on fluid inclusion synthesis and fluid-rock interaction studies.

1999: Awarded of "Johndino Nogara" prize of the Italian Society of Mineralogy and Petrology.
Invited lectures and courses: "Training on fluid inclusion analysis and data interpretation" (Manila, Philippines), “International School of Travertine & Tufa” (Abbadia San Salvatore, Italy), “Course on geothermal energy: development and utilisation” (Pyongyang, Democratic People's Republic of Korea).

2014-Present: Italian scientific responsible of a CNR-TUBITAK (Turkey) bilateral project.
2013-Present: Professor of the course "Fluid inclusions and applied mineralogy" for the Degree in Geological Sciences and Technologies of the University of Florence.
2013-Present: Responsible of Tasks 3.2 and 4.3 of the IMAGE project (Integrated Methods for Advanced Geothermal Exploration), funded by the European Union (FP7).
2013-Present: Member of the Commission on ore mineralogy of the International Mineralogical Association.
2009-Present: Responsible of the Fluid Inclusions Laboratory Analysis at the IGG, OSU of Florence.
