Interessi

INTERESSI PRINCIPALI

Paleoceanografia e paleoclimatologia del Mesozoico e Paleozoico. Sedimentologia dei sedimenti fini. Successioni pelagiche ed emipelagiche. Processi deposizionali della materia organica e black shale. Eventi Anossici Oceanici. Geochimica del sedimentario. Ciclostratigrafia. Stratigrafia. Scala dei Tempi Geologici. Analisi di Bacino. Geologia Marina. Petroleum System Modelling

ATTIVITA' DI RICERCA

La mia attività di ricerca si concentra sullo studio della sedimentologia e della geochimica inorganica mirata a ricostruzioni paleoclimatiche e paleoceanografiche, con particolare attenzione ai record geologici caratterizzati da estesi accumuli globali o supra-regionali di materia organica. L'obiettivo di questi studi è comprendere la risposta ambientale alle perturbazioni nel sistema terra-oceano-atmosfera. Utilizzo la sedimentologia e geochimica inorganica per ricostruire le condizioni fisiche e chimiche delle acque superficiali ed al fondo negli oceani. Inoltre, analizzo i processi responsabili della deposizione di facies organiche in vari ambienti, dai contesti continentali fino a quelli marino profondi. Questo tema di ricerca è completato dalla chemostratigrafia con isotopi stabili di C e O e dalla ciclostratigrafia mirata a fornire e/o migliorare il controllo temporale, un requisito fondamentale per gli studi ad alta risoluzione.

Interest

PRINCIPAL INTERESTS

Mesozoic and Palaeozoic paleoceanography and paleoclimatology. Sedimentology of fine-grained sediments. Pelagic and hemipelagic successions. Organic matter depositional processes and black shales. Oceanic Anoxic Events. Sedimentary geochemistry. Cyclostratigraphy. Stratigraphy. Timescales. Basin analysis. Marine geology. Petroleum System Modelling

RESEARCH ACTIVITY

My research activity focuses on the study of sedimentology and inorganic geochemistry aimed at paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic reconstructions, with a particular focus on geological records characterized by extensive global or supra-regional organic matter accumulation. The objective of these studies is to understand the environmental response to perturbations in the land-ocean-atmosphere system. I utilize sedimentology and inorganic geochemistry to reconstruct the physical and chemical conditions of surface and bottom waters in oceans. Additionally, I analyze the processes responsible for the deposition of organic facies across various environments, from continental to deep marine settings. This research theme is complemented by chemostratigraphy with stable isotopes of C and O and cyclostratigraphy aimed at providing and/or enhancing temporal control, a fundamental requirement for high-resolution studies.
