Giovanni Camanni

Giovanni Camanni is an Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical and Geological Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. His work focuses on structural geology, fault mechanics, and seismic hazard assessment, with extensive research in fault segmentation, reactivation processes, and 3D geological modeling.

• Research Interests: Structural geology, tectonic inheritance, fault kinematics, petrophysical reservoir characterization, and volcano-tectonic processes.
• Teaching: Courses on Seismic Sources and Microzonation, Structural Geology and Tectonics, and Geological Survey, covering advanced fault mapping, displacement analysis, and field methodologies.
• Techniques: Utilizes 3D seismic reflection data, photogrammetry, unsupervised learning algorithms (DBSCAN/OPTICS), and U-Pb dating for fault and reservoir studies.
• Applications: Findings contribute to seismic risk mitigation, fluid flow prediction in fractured reservoirs, and urban subsidence management, particularly in southern Italy and Taiwan.

Recent Publications (2020-2025): Advanced understanding of fault zone architecture in dolostones, displacement transfer mechanisms in relay zones, Wilson cycle fault reactivation, and multidisciplinary approaches to ground deformation studies.
