PROFESSIONAL SKILLS
SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY
Research
The scientific activity of A.M.M. mainly concerns the following research topics:
1. State of deformation and stress, at different levels in the lithosphere, induced by the combined effects of horizontal tectonic forces and post-glacial rebound.
2. Dynamics of the crust-mantle system at the active margins, with particular interest for:
i) the role played by variations in the regional kinematics;
ii) the variation of the geometry and the stress regime in the subduction complexes;
3. Analysis of the gravitational signature of tectonic processes, at different temporal and spatial scales
4. Integration between predictive geophysical models and natural data of different nature (geophysical, geodetic and geological), aimed at validating geophysical models and reducing the ambiguity among different geodynamic hypotheses.
5. Assimilation of statistical methodologies within direct geophysical models, aimed at defining a model covariance matrix that allows a more significant comparative analysis between natural data and model predictions.

PROFESSIONAL SKILLS
SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY
Research
The scientific activity of A.M.M. mainly concerns the following research topics:
1. State of deformation and stress, at different levels in the lithosphere, induced by the combined effects of horizontal tectonic forces and post-glacial rebound.
2. Dynamics of the crust-mantle system at the active margins, with particular interest for:
i) the role played by variations in the regional kinematics;
ii) the variation of the geometry and the stress regime in the subduction complexes;
3. Analysis of the gravitational signature of tectonic processes, at different temporal and spatial scales
4. Integration between predictive geophysical models and natural data of different nature (geophysical, geodetic and geological), aimed at validating geophysical models and reducing the ambiguity among different geodynamic hypotheses.
5. Assimilation of statistical methodologies within direct geophysical models, aimed at defining a model covariance matrix that allows a more significant comparative analysis between natural data and model predictions.
