- Fractured pebbles from the Tortonian conglomerates of the Peloritani Mountains (Southern Italy).
- Fault rock textures in damage zones.
- As natural tracers of groundwaters may be useful to define underground water flow controlled by extensional tectonics and evidence environmental and health problems.
- As ERT tomography may be useful to track active faults.
Physics for Cultural Heritage
Combining photogrammetric survey and spectroscopy to help the restoration of artifacts.
Physics of Environmental processes

Specialization on specific topics (e.g., Seismic surveillance, structural geology, geological and geophysical knowledge for Civil Engineering) can be pursued by the student in the framework of the “Student choice activities” and/or “Training course” and/or “Thesis”. In particular, the student can decide to work with the support of Unime teachers and researchers on the topic of seismic risk in his/her country or region of origin.
