Dr. Fabio Trincardi is currently Director of the Department of Earth Systems Sciences and Technologies for the Environment of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and coordinator of the European project BLUEMED Coordination and Support Action.
After his degree in Geology at the University of Bologna he specialised in marine geophysics through a fellowship at the University of Trieste and two years of post-doc fellowships at the US Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California. His scientific interests focus on the evolution
of continental margins from the shoreline to the abyss, integrating geophysical, sedimentological and geo-chronological methods, and on the study of past climate regimes. Former Director of the CNR Institute of Marine Science, he was the co-ordinator of EURODELTA, contractor in other 12 EU projects, and, at national level, co-ordinator
of RITMARE Flagship project (Italian Research for the Sea) and of the Geological-Mapping Project of the Italian Seas. He has been principal investigator in Industry-supported projects on slope stability, seismic-geomorphology and stratigraphic modelling, participating to 35 scientific cruises (Mediterranean, Pacific Ocean, Antarctica), and advising several MSc and 10 PhD students in liaison with the University of Bologna.
For several years on the editorial boards of Geology, Marine Geology, Geo-Marine Letters, he published about 200 papers on refereed journals and books and was Guest Editor on five special issues on Geochemistery, Geophysics, Geosystems (2008), Marine Geology (2016, 2006, and 2005) and Oceanography (2004).
