Geologist - Consultant in Environmental and Applied GeochemistryBackground of 18 years in applied geochemistry as self employed in Chemgeo Ltd. (Italian SME - 1999-2009) and as permanent employed researcher in Massa Spin-off Ltd. (spin-off company of Italian Research National Council and University of Florence).Since 2002 member of the National Order of Geologist.He participated to several projects and works focused on the evaluation, the fingerprinting and the mitigation of the environmental impact generated by anthropogenic sources (industrial facilities, landfills, mining districs), in the evaluation of geochemical baselines, in strategic CH4 storage programs, in the evaluation and protection of natural resources.He carried out more than 100 works on tens of landfills, in Italy and abroad, concerning:- chemical and isotopic characterization of landfill gas produced by waste fermentation;- estimation of landfill gas (CO2, CH4, H2S, VOC, NH3) released through the landfill cover;- chemical and isotopic air quality monitoring in the surrounding areas of landfills for the quantification of the impact induced by landfills activities;- numerical modelling of landfill gas generation rates and residual capacity;- soil gas surveys for the recognition of the origin of gas manifestations in the surrounding areas of municipal solid waste landfills;- chemical and isotopic monitoring of groundwater and stream water in the surrounding areas of landfills focused on the recognition and quantification of leachate contamination;- evaluation of geochemical baseline on groundwater and stream water;- evaluation of geochemical baseline of CH4, H2S, aldheydes, mercaptans, VOCs,PM10, PM2.5, …, in the atmosphere in the surrounding areas of several landfills.He has been involved in several applied-research projects (funded by the Italian Ministry of Instruction-University-Research, CNR, the Tuscany Region, Emilia Romagna Region, Calabria Region, etc.).
Listed skills include Environmental And Applied Geochemistry, Groundwater Contamination, Landfill Gas, Geostatistics, and 10 others.
