I am studying the Structural Geology of the Crotone Basin (located in Northeastern Calabria, Southern Italy) in order to constrain the impact of a shortening subduction arc on the processes of rollback, subduction, and forearc development (specifically the role of forearc extension in a rollback system).

In addition, I am applying Cosmogenic Radionuclide Dating and Fission Track and (U-Th)/He on apatites to determine erosion rates of rivers in Calabria. I hope to constrain the timing and rate(s) of the most recent uplift of the region, so as to hypothesize a mechanism for the uplift (currently 1mm/yr), assuming subduction is ongoing.
