Lorenzo Gemignani

Following my Master’s Degree in Geological Sciences at the University of Pisa (2011), I worked in the geothermal industry in Tuscany (2011–2013). I did a PhD (2013–2017) within the European Seventh Framework Program (iTECC) at the VU Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Afterwards, I worked as wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter — research assistant — in the Tectonics and Sedimentary Systems group (under the supervision of M. Handy) at Freie Universität Berlin, where I was responsible of the thermochronology laboratory. My research focuses on quantifying the tectonic, erosional, and sedimentary processes that shape the Earth’s surface. In particular, I am interested in how tectonics, climate, and surface processes interact to form mountain ranges and sedimentary basins. My goal is to measure the rate, scale, and impact of the processes that shape the surface of the earth, exploring the connections between deep-seated and surface processes.
