Petrella Emma

Emma Petrella is an Associate Professor at the University of Parma, affiliated with the Department of Chemical, Life and Environmental Sustainability Sciences. She specializes in hydrogeology and environmental geology, with a focus on groundwater flow dynamics, landslide studies, and karst hydrology.

• Teaching since 2015 in programs including Geological Sciences Applied to Environmental Sustainability
• Co-developer of international landslide training programs in Rwanda

Her research integrates groundwater modeling in complex geological settings, particularly karst systems and landslide-prone areas. She has contributed technical insights through field studies and computational simulations.

Selected publications demonstrate expertise in groundwater circulation in tectonically active regions, slope stability analysis, and karst aquifer management. Her work spans theoretical and applied hydrogeology.

While no specific scientific awards are listed, her contributions to international training programs through the Erasmus+ EnRHEd project highlight her educational outreach efforts.
