Piero Gianolla is full professor at the Physic and Earth Sciences Department of University of Ferrara. My main fields of research are: Sequence Stratigraphic methodologies; Triassic Stratigraphy of the Tethyan Domain; Sedimentology of Carbonate Platforms and Mixed Basins; Paleoclimatology of Early Mesozoic; Geoheritage, Geodiversity and Geoconservation. In the last years one of the most promising lines of research in terms of scientific impact is the reconstruction of the palaeoclimate during the Triassic, particularly during early Late Triassic (Carnian). This research concerns the recognition of primary and secondary climate indicators and their impact on a global scale. I am also involved in several mapping projects in the Alps (CARG Project) and in different projects dealing with the definition and conservation of geological Heritage in Italy and Europe. From September 2021 I am President of the Italian Commission on Stratigraphy (CIS).
