Domenico Cicchella is a Full Professor of Geochemistry at the University of Sannio, Italy, and an Associate Editor of Water (MDPI) and the Journal of Geochemical Exploration (Elsevier). He received his PhD in Environmental Geochemistry from the University of Naples Federico II in 2003. He is the author and co-author of several regional and national geochemical atlases and more than 120 papers published in international scientific journals. His scientific impact is reflected by an h-index of 44 in Scopus and 51 in Google Scholar. He maintains an extensive network of scientific collaborations with researchers from Italian and international universities and research institutions. His research focuses on environmental and regional geochemistry and on geochemical techniques applied to solid and gaseous matrices to monitor potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and organic contaminants (PAHs, PCBs, and OCPs) at contaminated sites and across large areas. He applies advanced statistical, compositional, and spatial-modelling methods to geochemical data and develops robust approaches to determine natural backgrounds and baseline values in soils, waters, and stream sediments at regional and continental scales. His research also includes deterministic and stochastic models for assessing environmental and human-health risks related to anthropogenic contamination and low-intensity ionising radiation.
