Recently graduated in Geophysical Sciences for Seismic Risks, Matteo Bolignani completed his internship and Master’s thesis under a research framework agreement with the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). The work was carried out in collaboration with Dr. Salvatore Giammanco, Senior Researcher at INGV–Osservatorio Etneo, Catania. He is now continuing his research activities on Mt. Etna, investigating radon gas as a tracer of geodynamic activity and its correlation with seismicity.

24/05/2026

The students of Geophysical Monitoring of Volcanic Areas participated in a field activity on Mt. Etna together with Professor Stefano Branca, Filippo Greco, and the INGV-OE staff 🌋

At the “La Montagnola” monitoring station (2600 m a.s.l.), they explored the main instruments used for volcanic monitoring, including gas monitoring systems, seismometers, infrasound stations, infrared thermal cameras, and gravimeters.

The series of seminars led by Professor Mauro Agate of the University of Palermo was a success.
As part of the new course "Applied Stratigraphy" taught by Professor Roberta Somma, the teaching was complemented by interesting seminars on the interpretation of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles. The features of passive continental margins, thrust belts, depositional sequences with systems tracts, and petroleum systems were carefully examined and interpreted on seismic profiles.
Thank you, Prof. Agate

This subject provides the theoretical and methodological foundations for the analysis of the Earth’s subsurface, with particular emphasis on the geological and structural characterization of crystalline basements and sedimentary successions. It also covers integrated seismic and sequence stratigraphic analysis, as well as the identification and evaluation of subsurface geo-resources, including groundwater, hydrocarbons, and mineral deposits.
