The scientific research activity embraces several topics of engineering geology, focusing on natural and engineered slopes stability.
Attention is paid to predisposing and triggering factors at different time scales, geological and geomorphological mapping, geological prospecting, in situ and remote sensing monitoring, numerical modeling, and design of mitigation measures, also in sites with high environmental and cultural value. The evaluation of groundwater resources under a changing climate and the study of the interactions
between flood control reservoirs and porous aquifers in alluvial fans and plains are analysed, along with liquefaction phenomena, also in a palaeoseismological perspective. The research areas are located in the northern Apennines, in the eastern Alps and the Po River Valley.
