Research

The main subjects of interests are Earth Sciences-related, investigated with automated tools.
Here is a short list of specific subjects.

• Analysis of topographic features from remote sensing data: examples from Antarctica
• Beyond scalar GIS: vector field processings in GIS
• Structural geology and GIS: applications to meso-, macro-faults and focal mechanisms
