My research interests concern experimental research in mountain catchments for debris flow and torrential processes. My activity is fully devoted to the applied geo-morphology, in the field of preventive studies on slope instability and stream floods, with special regard to the geo-hydrological risk associated to extreme rainfall events. Moreover, I developed analytical capability in the field survey, in the search of data and in data processing, concerning information about historical and present-day instability processes, with special regard to the Alpine region. This activity has been realized in the perspective to draw event scenarios of natural (and/or human) causes of instability processes, their sequential development, the expected effects, their possible magnitude and the mean recurrence interval.
