Umberto Giostra

Umberto Giostra serves as an Associate Professor at the Department of Pure and Applied Sciences (DiSPeA) at the University of Urbino Carlo Bo. His academic work focuses on the physical systems of Earth, planets, and space environments with applications to climate science and cultural heritage conservation.

Professor Giostra's research spans several interconnected disciplines:

• Earth System Physics - investigating the integrated physical processes of Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere
• Planetary Science - studying physical properties and processes of planets within our solar system and beyond
• Space Physics - examining physical phenomena in near-Earth space environments
• Climate Science - researching climatological systems, historical climate patterns, and contemporary climate change processes
• Cultural Heritage Physics - applying physics principles to the conservation, restoration, and analysis of cultural artifacts

His teaching portfolio demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections across scientific fields:

• Climatology courses for Environmental Geology and Land Management students
• Physics for Cultural Heritage courses for Conservation and Restoration programs
• Physics for the Earth System and Near-Earth Environment courses
