Groundwater processes and flow systems

Areas: Geology

The activities of the research group deal with the theme “groundwater”, investigated from different stand points and by different approaches, not only the classical hydrogeological ones but also geomorphological, geological and geochemical. Groundwater flow systems are the topic of the research, either in natural or in stressed conditions with the evaluation and management of quantitative and qualitative impacts. As an analogy also hydrocarbon fluids migration inside porous medium is taken into account.
