I am Roberto Gianardi, a geologist with a volcanological background. In 2016, I graduated in Earth Sciences and Technologies at University of Pisa with a thesis focused on the study and simulations of lahars of the Island of Vulcano (Aeolian Island – Italy). The research included an analysis of hazard assessments associated with volcanic activities.
Post-graduation, I embarked on a professional journey within the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), where I specialized in reconstructing digital terrain models for volcanic hazards studies. I’m also an active member of a research group of INGV which aims to deepen understand the volcanic system of Vulcano and its unrest phases.
Currently, my PhD project centers around the study of volcanic hazards, specifically focusing on intability phenomena by creating high resolution topographies of active volcanic areas using advanced remote sensing techniques (including high-resolution satellite and drone imagery) and specific software.
I am enthusiastic about the potential impact of this research and eager to engage in collaborative efforts to further our collective knowledge in this critical field. Through my doctoral studies, I aspire to make meaningful contributions to the field, ultimately enhancing our ability to mitigate the impacts of volcanic hazards.
