Dr. Federico Raspini

Prof. Federico Raspini is an Associate Professor of physical geography and geomorphology at the Earth Sciences Department of the University of Florence. He received a bachelor’s degree in earth sciences in 2006 and a master’s degree in earth sciences in 2008, both at the University of Florence. He received a Ph.D. in earth sciences in 2013 at the University of Florence with a thesis on the interpretation of satellite radar data for the mapping, monitoring and modelling of hydrogeological-induced ground deformations. He has been a Visiting Researcher at the National Technical University of Athens since 2012. His research currently focuses on the use of radar interferometric techniques (both space-borne and ground-based) for the detection, characterization and monitoring of geohazards. He has been involved in several international projects funded by ESA and the EU. He is currently involved in EU-funded projects, in national initiatives with the Italian Civil Protection Department and in several projects with local authorities, dealing with the prediction and prevention of slope movements.
