Carla BottariThe need to study, protect, and conserve archaeological heritage has enhanced the application of geophysical techniques as non-invasive and reliable tools to investigate fragile and valuable assets. This review presents the most popular geophysical techniques suitable for archaeogeophysical investigations, namely, magnetometry, ground penetrating radar, and electrical resistivity tomography, together with a series of multiparametric measures taken from aerial platforms (UAS). For each method, we recall the basic physical principles, illustrate the operative procedures for field investigation, and provide indications about data processing and modeling. We propose a flowchart to address reliable and effective geophysical investigations, from its planning to the development of the final archaeogeophysical model. We underline the integrated approach, in which the combination of various techniques allows the best results in terms of resolution, coverage, investigation depth, speed, and costs to be obtained. We introduce a suite of studied cases in which this approach has been applied successfully.

Book
Raffaele MartoranaEarthquake Geotechnical Engineering for Protection and Development of Environment and Constructions contains invited, keynote and theme lectures and regular papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (Rome, Italy, 17-20 June 2019. The contributions deal with recent developments and advancements as well as case histories, field monitoring, experimental characterization, physical and analytical modelling, and applications related to the variety of environmental phenomena induced by earthquakes in soils and their effects on engineered systems interacting with them. The book is divided in the sections below: Invited papers Keynote papers Theme lectures Special Session on Large Scale Testing Special Session on Liquefact Projects Special Session on Lessons learned from recent earthquakes Special Session on the Central Italy earthquake Regular papers Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering for Protection and Development of Environment and Constructions provides a significant up-to-date collection of recent experiences and developments, and aims at engineers, geologists and seismologists, consultants, public and private contractors, local national and international authorities, and to all those involved in research and practice related to Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering.

About Me
Raffaele Martorana is currently an Associate Professor of Applied Geophysics (Scientific-Disciplinary Sector GEOS-04/B) at the Department of Earth and Marine Sciences (DiSTeM), University of Palermo. He obtained his degree in Geological Sciences from the University of Palermo, where he also earned a Ph.D. in Environmental and Territorial Geophysics in 2002. Since then, he has been conducting research at the University of Palermo. Since 2008, he has been a lecturer in Geophysics for the Bachelor's degree in Geological Sciences and in Applied Geophysics for the Master's degree in Georisks and Georesources. In 2021, he obtained the National Scientific Qualification (ASN) for Full Professor in the academic recruitment field GEOS-04 Geophysics.
He has participated in numerous research group activities involving both national and international collaborations, including several PRIN and PON projects. His main research interests include:
- Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), with a focus on data processing, tomographic inversion methods, and the optimization of multielectrode arrays;
- Integrated application of geophysical methods to hydrogeology, geomorphology, and the investigation of archaeological and monumental heritage;
- Microtremor analysis for Seismic Microzonation.
He is the author of over 200 publications, of which 98 are indexed in international databases such as Scopus and Web of Science, with 975 citations and an H-index of 19.
