Giovanni Distefano

Giovanni Distefano is a Researcher in Solid Earth Geophysics (SSD GEO/10) at the Department of Biological, Geological, and Environmental Sciences, University of Catania. His work focuses on the seismicity of the Etna area, the relationship between seismic and volcanic activity on Mount Etna, and geophysical precursors for earthquakes and eruptions. He collaborates with researchers at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology.

As an educator, he teaches the Seismology Laboratory for the Master's Degree in Geophysical Sciences and the Earth Physics Laboratory for the Master's Degree in Geological Sciences at the University of Catania. His office hours are Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 to 13:00 (by prior email appointment).

His publications emphasize seismic monitoring, geodetic strain analysis, and probabilistic modeling of volcanic hazards at Mount Etna, spanning from 1992 to 2018.
