Geodesy and Crustal Deformation
Analysis of geodetic time series for the study of crustal deformation, with particular attention to the estimation of velocities, common-mode signals, transient signals, and seasonal variations. This activity includes the application of multivariate statistical methods for the spatio-temporal characterization of geodetic signals.
Hydrological Processes and Crustal Deformation
Study of deformation induced by variations in surface and groundwater content. The research integrates geodetic, hydrological, meteorological, climatic, and seismological data to analyse the mechanical response of the crust to hydrological loading and water storage variations.
Geophysical Modelling and Stress Variations
Development and application of mechanical and numerical models for the interpretation of natural deformation signals. This activity includes the calculation of stress variations associated with hydrological and tectonic processes and the study of their possible effects on active faults.
Integration of Geodetic and Seismological Data
Integrated analysis of geodetic and seismological observations for the study of complex geophysical processes. The aim is to improve the understanding of the relationships between crustal deformation, subsurface properties, environmental processes, and seismicity.
