About the Book


About the Author:

Dr. Janusz Wasowski

He is a research geologist at CNR-IRPI (National Research Council - Institute for Geo-hydrological Protection) in Bari, Italy. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of Engineering Geology. Since 2011 he has held the positions of Visiting Professor at the Research School of Arid Environment and Climate Change, Lanzhou University, Gansu, China and of Science Officer of the Natural Hazards Group Programme, European Geosciences Union (EGU).

He is an internationally recognized scientist in the field of engineering geology, natural hazards and applied remote sensing. For over 25 years Dr. Wasowski's work has covered a broad spectrum of research topics ranging from slope instability and landslide assessment, collateral seismic hazards, geotechnical field investigation and in situ monitoring, to exploitation of air/space-borne remote sensing and geophysical surveying in engineering geology. He has also served as a consultant for the National Department for Civil Protection, Italy, the Government of Gansu Province, China, and the Centre National de l'Information Géo-Spatiale, Haiti, focusing on landslides and other geohazards and on the application of satellite multi-temporal interferometry for monitoring terrain deformations and infrastructure instability.

Since 2007 Dr. Wasowski has been a member of the Editorial Board of Engineering Geology (Elsevier) and the Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology (The Geological Society, London). He is the author/co-author of over 100 articles/book chapters and the guest editor of 11 special issues published in international scientific journals.

Dr. Daniele Giordan

Researcher of CNR IRPI since 2009. Scientific coordinator for geological analysis geo-hydrological processes and monitoring data results interpretation of Geohazard Monitoring Group. Research interests mainly focused on the development of new methodologies and systems for landslides monitoring and in particular on: i) the development of a communication strategy for landslide monitoring results dissemination; ii) the use of the inverse velocity failure forecast approach for early warning applications; iii) the use of LiDAR and UAV for natural hazards effects mapping and monitoring; iv) Alpine Deep Seated Gravitational Slope Deformations: dynamic and interactions with human activities. Secretary of the Italian National Group of the International Association of Engineering Geology (IAEG). Chairman of the IAEG International Commission C35 "monitoring methods and approaches in engineering geology applications". Editor of several books and special issues focused on engineering geology topics and co-author of more than 40 papers and book chapters.

Dr. Piernicola Lollino

He is a research engineer at CNR-IRPI (National Research Council - Institute for Geo-hydrological Protection) in Bari, Italy.

For about 15 years Dr. Lollino's work has covered a broad spectrum of research topics ranging from stress-strain behaviour of slopes, analysis of the failure mechanisms and slope stability assessment, earthflow propagation, underground caves, old embankment dams and infrastructure embankments, based on numerical modelling and field monitoring. He has been visiting PhD student at the Imperial College and visiting scientist at the USGS (Golden, USA) and Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (Spain). He has also served as a consultant for the National Department for Civil Protection, Italy, focusing on emergency events related to landslides.

Since 2007 Dr. Lollino has been a reviewer for several international scientific journals, as Engineering Geology, Computers & Geotechnics, Computers & Geosciences, Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, Natural Hazards & Earth System Sciences. He is the author/co-author of over 70 articles.
