During his research activity at the Institute he concentrated himself on four main topics: 1) investigations of floods events, with particular attention to the hydrological aspects involved 2) researches on debris flows 3) researches on landslide monitoring 4) service, calibration and design activities for the Institute.

 

As far as the second topic is concerned he concentrated his activity on 5 main aspects: a) mathematical modelling of debris flows b) experimental and field data collection on debris flows in instrumented sites c) debris flow rheological studies d) application and test of  different sensor typologies for monitoring purposes e) development of warning algorithms for debris flows.

Massimo Arattano, graduated at the Politecnico of Turin in Hydraulics Engineering and was hired at CNR IRPI in 1988 where he actually works as Primo Ricercatore.He carried out study interventions on the floods that took place in 1990 in the Garza and Vrenda (Brescia) valleys, in the Resia, Raccolana and Fella (Udine) valleys, in 1992 in the Varese Province, in 1993 in Liguria and in 1994 in southern Piedmont. In 1991 he moved to the U.S.A. to work at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as Foreign Scientist. During this stay he developed, in cooperation with Prof. W.Z. Savage, a mathematical model to simulate debris flow motion, applying it to several cases coming from Italy and USA. In 1992 he assumed the responsibility of the management of the debris flow monitoring activities in the Moscardo Torrent. In 1993 he was responsible of the European Research Project titled “Contribution to the reduction of debris flow damage, with the analysis of the triggering factors, initiation, propagation and deposition phenomena, in the Alpine region" Contract n° EV5V CT94 O453. In 1996 he was responsible of the European Research Project titled “Debris flow management and risk assessment in the Alpine region” Contract n° ENV4 CT96 O253. In 2000 he was responsible of the European Research Project titled “Torrent Hazard Assessment and Risk Mitigation Tools” Contract n° EVG1-CT-1999-00012. In 1999 he assumed the scientific responsibility of an Interreg II Project 1994/1999 Italia - Confederazione Elvetica titled “Collegamento delle reti di rilevamento e condivisione delle esperienze e conoscenze per la gestione del rischio idrogeologico”. In 2006 he has become the Scientific Responsible of  the Projet Interreg III A – ALCOTRA n.196 PERMAdataROC, within the context of which a monitoring system has been designed and installed at the Capanna Carrel on the Matterhorn that allows the acquisition and recording of micro-seismic signals. In 2010 he has become the Scientific Responsible for the Institute of  a new Interreg Project named “Massa” within which the detection programme of  micro-seismic signals at the Capanna Carrel on the Matterhorn has continued. Since 2011 he cooperates to the management of the debris flow monitoring equipment of the instrumented area of the Gadria Torrent (Lasa, Bz), where some warning algorithms are currently under test. These latter are implemented on a innovative recording unit for the multiparametric monitoring of debris flows, named  ALMOND-F (ALarm and MOnitoring system for Debris-Flows), explicitly designed and realized in collaboration with the company Siap+Micros.
