Jacopo Nesi
Hi, I’m Jacopo, I’m a geologist and an outdoor lover. My dreams office is the outcrop, directly on the field. My passion for geology start developing during the secondary school and as my university course progresses I pursue my interests on subjects as sedimentology, stratigraphy and structural geology. My PhD project is focused on a regional revision of a continental-transitional succession outcropping between the Central High Atlas and the Kem-Kem region in the southern Morocco. The aim is to provide a solid stratigraphic framework for the transition Lower-Upper Cretaceous, supported by log measurement, facies analysis and paleo-current interpretation, and reconstruct the paleo-environment and the paleo-geography of the area starting from sedimentary structures and depositional processes.
