I am originally from Verona (Italy), a beautiful city located at the foot of the Alps. My family owns a small apartment near Madonna di Campiglio, in the Italian Dolomites. As a kid, I liked to go to Madonna di Campiglio as often as possible to hike, to ski, and to climb on our beautiful “via ferratas”. The time spent in the Dolomites sparked my passion for nature and for the Earth sciences. I therefore attended the University of Padua as a geology major and graduated in 2002. I then came to the US and got a MSc from Iowa State University and a PhD from the University of South Carolina. After a post-doc at Yale University and a two-year period as a visiting professor at Eastern Connecticut State University, I came to UVU in the fall of 2011. Here I teach various courses in geology, geochemistry, and weather and climate. For my research, I apply stable isotope techniques to reconstruct past climates in continental interiors. In my free time, I love to spend time outdoor running, hiking, backpacking, climbing, mountain biking, and skiing.
