Amaddii Michele

Geologist, traveler and trekking enthusiast. My scientific interest concern slope stability analysis and engineering geology, including field surveys, GIS analysis, and numerical modeling. I started my studies in geology, with a focus on applied geology and geomorphology, then on hydrogeological hazards. Currently, my research activity is focused on the analysis of processes leading to flash floods and rainfall-induced debris flows by means hydrological-hydraulic modelling.
B.Sc. in Geological Sciences at the University of Siena, 2016. Thesis Title: “Geology and geological applications in the Tambobamba area (Central Andes, Apurimac, Perú)”.
M.Sc. in Geosciences and Applied Geology at the University of Siena, 2019. Thesis Title: “Back analysis numerical modelling of the 19/06/1996 Cardoso (Apuan Alps, Italy) flood: from gravitational movements to their evolution in debris flows”.
Fellow at the University of Siena - Department of Physical Sciences, Earth and Environment, 2019. “Geological and Geomorphological analysis of landslides processes in Tuscany Region”.
Ph.D. Student in Earth Sciences at the University of Florence, 2019 – 2022. Thesis Title: “Quantitative hazard assessment by numerical modelling of flood and debris flow events”.
