Giacomo Corti

Giacomo Corti è Dirigente di Ricerca presso l'Istituto di Geoscienze e Georisorse del CNR, del quale è responsabile della Sede Secondaria di Firenze. E' Ricercatore Associato all'Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV).

Ha conseguito la laurea in scienze geologiche presso l'Università degli studi di Firenze nel 1997, ed il dottorato di ricerca in Scienze della Terra presso l'Università degli studi di Pisa nel 2003. La principale attività di ricerca è relativa all'analisi dalla dinamica del rifting continentale e sviluppo di sistemi di rift valleys, con particolare riferimento all'evoluzione del Sistema di Rift dell'Africa Orientale e al Rift Etiopico. L'attività integra la modellizzazione analogica sperimentale con studi geologico-strutturali di terreno e dati geofisici. Altri linee di ricerca comprendono: dinamica di estensione nel Golfo della California (Messico), modellizzazione analogica sperimentale di vari processi geologici (collisione continentale, deformazione polifasica, messa in posto di magmi, processi geomorfici), dinamica ed evoluzione del Rift del Baikal (Russia), dinamica del flusso glaciale in Antartide, tettonica attiva in Appennino Settentrionale e tettonica dell'America Centrale (El Salvador).
