Marco Taussi

Marco Taussi is a Fixed-term Researcher under Law 240/10 at the Department of Pure and Applied Sciences (DiSPeA) at the University of Urbino Carlo Bo, where he has been actively engaged in research and teaching since at least 2019. His work focuses on geochemical processes in geothermal systems and environmental applications.

Dr. Taussi's research interests span geochemistry and mineralogy of geothermal/hydrothermal systems, with particular emphasis on fluids geochemistry, diffuse gas emanations from soils, and alteration mineralogical assemblages. His environmental geochemistry work addresses ground- and surface water pollution, aquifer vulnerability, seawater intrusion, biogas emissions monitoring from landfills, and potentially hazardous minerals. He also investigates the exploration, potential, and environmental impact assessment of shallow low-temperature geothermal resources.

His publication record demonstrates consistent research output with numerous articles in high-impact journals across hydrogeology, geochemistry, and geothermal energy fields. Recent publications (2023-2026) show a strong focus on water-rock interactions, seismic monitoring through geochemical methods, environmental applications of geothermal systems, and innovative water quality assessment techniques. His work frequently involves multi-isotopic approaches and field studies in Central Italy, with some international collaborations in Chile and Ecuador.

As an educator, Dr. Taussi has taught Environmental Geochemistry in the Geology and Land-Use Planning Bachelor degree program since 2019/2020. Since 2023/2024, he has also taught Geothermal Resources in the Green Industrial Engineering Master degree program (a joint program between University of Urbino and Marche Polytechnic University). Additionally, he has contributed to PhD programs since 2022/2023, teaching courses on geothermal energy, research methods in endogenous planetary processes, and land management technologies.

His teaching portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to educating the next generation of geoscientists and environmental engineers, with a focus on practical applications of geochemistry to real-world environmental challenges and sustainable resource management.
