With the latest appointments, the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) has completed the team of researchers who will lead the 3 scientific departments and 9 sections of INGV for the three-year period 2019-2022.
The three researchers who will lead the Departments are:
Leonardo Sagnotti for the Environment Department
Rita Di Giovambattista for the Earthquake Department
Augusto Neri for the Volcano Department.
The Sections that make up the articulation of the INGV on the national territory will be guided as follows:
· National Earthquake Observatory of Rome (ONT-INGV) by Salvatore Stramondo
· Vesuvius Observatory of Naples (OV–INGV) by Francesca Bianco
· Etna Observatory of Catania (OE–INGV) by Stefano Felice Branca
· Section of Bologna (BO-INGV) by Antonio Costa
· Section of Milan (MI-INGV) by Lucia Luzi
· Section of Palermo (PA-INGV) by Francesco Italiano
· Section of Pisa (PI-INGV) by Carlo Meletti
· Section of Rome 1 (RM1–INGV) by Salvatore Barba
· Section of Rome 2 (RM2–INGV) by Fabio Speranza
“The nominated Directors will be able to best guide the research and monitoring activities of the Sections entrusted to them”, highlighted the President of INGV Carlo Doglioni. “The Sections of the Institute are the organizational articulations of all our activities and the researchers who represent them are a point of reference both for the scientific community and for the activities they are part of in the area” continues the President.
“On 29 September we celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the foundation of INGV, born in 1999 with the merger of various separate entities, giving the possibility to a large part of the Italian geosciences to come together under a single structure. Today the Sections of the Institute work in unison, modernizing the monitoring networks, participating in cutting-edge European and international projects, developing research on ambitious projects, aimed at studying climate change, sea level rise in the Mediterranean, of the structure of the earth's crust and mantle under Italy, of the preparation systems for strong earthquakes, of the pre-eruptive dynamics and of all the consequent scenarios for the ten active volcanoes in our nation”, concludes the President.
The Director General of INGV, Maria Siclari, highlights how the management structure of the Institute is always present in solving the problems that the implementation of scientific research requires. Continuous dialogue with the Department and Section Directors will always allow for the best solutions to be found for INGV's extraordinary mission.
