University: University of Tübingen School: Faculty of Science Department: Department of Geosciences Research Group: Terrestrial Sedimentology Email: andrea.aquino@uni-tuebingen.de Dr. Aquino earned her PhD in geology focusing on stone decay in historical buildings, and later completed a Master's in Forest Science from the University of Padova with top honors (110/110). Her educational path reflects a deep commitment to interdisciplinary science, combining earth sciences with ecological and conservation applications. PhD in Geology – Focus: decay of natural and artificial stones in cultural heritage Master of Science in Forest Science – University of Padova (110/110) Background in mineralogy, petrology, and sedimentology Her research interests are highly interdisciplinary, centered on Vegetation Geology —a novel framework she is developing that places geology at the core of ecological interpretation. She investigates how geological substrates influence forest vegetation, soil moisture, and ecosystem resilience. She also continues active research in sedimentology, focusing on loess, soil micromorphology, and the mineralogical analysis of building stones. Her methodological toolkit includes XRD, XRF, SEM, micromorphology, and remote sensing (e.g., satellite-derived vegetation and water indices). The 15 most recent publications reflect a strong trend in cultural heritage conservation , ore and building stone mineralogy , and sedimentary processes . A significant portion of her work applies analytical techniques to historical materials, assessing durability, decay mechanisms, and conservation strategies. There is also a clear thread in interdisciplinary methodologies , including 3D modelling, image analysis, and mobile applications for on-site heritage assessment. While her earlier work focused on geochemical and petrographic analysis, her recent trajectory shows an expansion into ecological integration and digital tools. Andrea Aquino has not received any publicly listed scientific awards in the provided text. She is actively involved in academic mentoring and teaching, though no formal students are listed. She teaches courses in sedimentology, stratigraphy, rock identification, and the geology of building stones, and leads field excursions to Mainz and the Black Forest. She is also engaged in research grants and collaborative projects related to cultural heritage and environmental geology, though specific grant names are not mentioned. Her work often involves multi-institutional collaborations, particularly with Italian research groups. She is a key member of the Terrestrial Sedimentology Workgroup at the University of Tübingen’s Geo- and Environmental Research Centre (GUZ). This team focuses on sediment dynamics, loess studies, and applied geology. Her lab work integrates mineralogical and geochemical analyses with conservation science, and she collaborates on digital heritage projects involving 3D modelling and image analysis. Her evolving research integrates field teams for vegetation-geology studies and remote sensing applications in forest ecosystems.
