Lorenzo Petronio
Primary tabs
He received his MS degree in Geological Sciences (1993) from the University of Trieste, with a thesis concerning the integration of high resolution reflection seismic and gravimetric data for hydrological study. He received his PhD in applied geophysics (1997) from the University of Trieste with a thesis on processing, interpretation and inversion of onshore and offshore seismic data (near vertical/wide angle reflection and refraction data) acquired in the Etna volcano area (Sicily).
Since 1998 he has been working at Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e Geofisica Sperimentale -OGS as geophysicist:
1998 - 2012: at seismic-while-drilling research group;
2013 – present: coordinator of Land and Inshore Acquisition data and technology Development group (LIAD).
His research activities include acquisition, processing and interpretation of seismic data; development of new acquisition and processing techniques suited to improve signal/noise ratio in surface and shallow borehole seismic data; application of seismic-while-drilling data to predict the lithological and rock property variations ahead of the tunnel-boring-machine. He is involved in project concerning the use of geophysical methods applied to the study of landslide and hydrogeology. Research activities included also seismic oceanography and acoustic methods to detect seawater column layering and plumes.
- He is P.I. of 13 funded projects.
- Authors of 14 papers, 80 congress presentations and more than 55 technical reports.
- Co-author of a patent for data processing in tunnel seismic survey.
- He took part to several onshore/offshore seismic, gravimetric and seismological surveys.
- Reviewer of Geophysics, Geophysical Prospecting, Journal of Applied Geophysics, Bollettino di Geofisica Teorica ed Applicata.
- Member of SEG and EAGE.
