Hello everybody.
I am a researcher in Earth Sciences at the University of Padova, Italy. My specializations are stratigraphy, carbonate sedimentology and regional geology of the Southern Alps, which is a structural domain of the Alps, not the New Zealand's mountain chain! By the way, there is a "Southern Alps" mountain chain also in Japan (thanks to Thomas Simmons who signaled it to me).
Not much to add at the moment but you might like to look at my CV here.

Hot topic
There is a Global warming article under writing at the moment, and it seems I am the only editor who can handle it. Big responsability! And a lot of work. I often cannot keep up with the discussion going on there. ARE YOU A CLIMATOLOGIST? Then, please, contribute to this article. As you can see from my CV, this is not my principal field of expertise.
Biases that I know about
(feel free to edit here!)
- I believe Thomas Kuhn's view of science, as explained in "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions", is wrong, while I agree with Karl Popper's "Logic of the Scientific Discovery".
- I believe Italo Calvino is the best Italian writer of ever, and perhaps one of the 10 best writers of the world.
