Francesco Caleca
My great interest in natural hazards, in particular landslides and earthquakes, certainly encouraged me to take up the studies in geological sciences. During my academic path my focus was caught by disciplines such as geomorphology and engineering geology, especially the assessment and the mitigation of landslide risk were the topics which fascinated me and they still represent my research field.
B.Sc. in Geological Sciences at the University of Florence, 2017. Thesis Title: “Laser
