Francesca Amabile is a PhD student in Geosciences and Environment at the Earth Sciences Department of the University of Pisa. She has got many passions such as nature, animals, sports, trekking and structural-geology from meso to micro scale. Her research project is based on the reconstruction of the tectono-metamorphic history of the Variscan basement of Corsica (France), in particular in the areas of Fautea-Solenzara and Porto Vecchio. The combination of structural-geological and petrological methods with geochronological analysis will allow the P-T-d-t paths to be reconstructed for each metamorphic complex. By comparing these paths, it will be possible to reconstruct a geodynamic model for this part of the Variscan basement and compare it with another analogue portions of the basement of the southern European Variscan belt. She graduated in Geological Sciences and Technologies at the University of Pisa in 2024 with a thesis focused on tectono-metamorphic evolution of the Variscan basement of the Fautea-Favone Metamorphic Complex (Corsica, France). BSc in Earth Sciences at the University of Pisa in 2021 with a thesis titled: “Vene e mineralizzazioni nelle torbiditi delle unità liguri interne (App. Sett.): analisi isotopica e geologico – strutturale”.
