Volcanology

Research interests

Reconstruction of the long term ground movement in Campi Flegrei, Southern Italy and analysis of the ground unrests during both short and long term periods.  Investigate the implication on future eruptions by using corrected ground movement pattern.  Numerical modeling to test possible feeding systems for observed displacement.

Main study areas:-
Campi Flegrei (Southern Italy)
Rabaul (Papua New Guinea)
Long Valley (USA)
