Giacomo Corti Giacomo Corti is a Research Director at the Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources of the National Research Council of Italy. He is the responsible for the Florence Research Unit of the same Institute. He received a MsC-equivalent degree (Laurea) in Geology at the University of Florence (1997) and a Ph.D. in Mineralogy and Petrology at the University of Pisa (2003). His research currently focuses on continental extensional tectonics, with special interest on the evolution of the East African Rift System; this research integrates field geological-structural studies, analogue modelling and geophysical data. His scientific interests also include the analogue modelling of deformation processes at various scales, including continental collision, strike-slip deformation, multiphase deformation, magma emplacement, geomorphic processes (e.g., ice flow dynamics). He is also involved or has been involved in projects analyzing the evolution of the Gulf of California (Mexico), evolution of the Baikal Rift (Russia), active tectonics in the Northern Apennines, the processes of ice flow and meteorite accumulation in the Antarctic ice, the Quaternary magmatism of the Tuscan Magmatic Province and the tectonics of Central America (El Salvador).

He is currently involved in many international cooperations with experimental modelling laboratories and other scientific institutions worldwide. He is the author or co-author of ca. 130 peer-reviewed publications in some of the most important international journals (Nature Geoscience, Nature Communications, Geology, Earth Science Reviews, Journal of Geophysical Research, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Tectonics, Tectonophysics, etc), with H-index of 44 (source: Google Scholar) and 38 (source: Scopus), and more than 150 presentations at international or national congresses. He is the author of the divulgative book "Geologia e paesaggi della rift valley in Etiopia (Geology and landscapes of the Ethiopian Rift Valley)" (Pacini Editore, Pisa, 2012). He is a Reviewer Editor for Frontiers in Earth Science and is a Reviewer for international Journals (including: Nature Geoscience, Nature Communications, Geology, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Journal of Geophysical Research, Tectonics, GCubed, Geophysical Journal International, Tectonophysics, Journal of Structural Geology, Geological Society of London Special Publications, etc.) and has acted a reviewer for projects of foreign research institutes (such as: ERC, European Commission; European Geophysical Union; National Science Foundation, USA; American Chemical Society, USA; Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, Canada; National Center for Scientific Research, France; Swiss National Science Foundation, Switzerland; Natural Environment Research Council, United Kingdom; Helmholtz Association, Germany). He has been reviewer and member of examining committees of PhD students at both national and international institutions (Australia, Finland, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, Switzerland). He has been Guest Editor of Tectonphysics for the special volume “Quantitative modelling of geological processes” (2010) and of the Bollettino di Geofisica Teorica e Applicata, 49, 2 supplement (extended abstract of Geomod2008). He has been an invited speaker at both international and national congresses/workshops (eg. EGU Vienna, Riftlink Germany, Analog modelling of tectonic processes workshop Texas USA, SIMP-AIC meeting, Geoitalia, Congresso Società Geologica Italiana) and has been invited to give seminar in numerous national and international institutions (e.g., United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Finland, Mexico). He is the organizer of the congress 'Il terremoto del 29 Giugno 1919 e la sismicità in Mugello' (the 1919 June 29th earthquake and the seismicity in Mugello) and the main organizer of GeoMod2008, the Third International Geological Modelling (Florence, 21-26 Sept 2008), and Geomod-it, the first workshop on analogue modelling in Italy (Florence, 03 Jun 2015). He has been convenor and chairman at both national and international congresses (e.g., AGU San Francisco, EGU Vienna, Geomod, Congress of the Italian Geological Society). He has been a contract Professor at the University of Florence (2013-2021). He cooperates with several schools and local institutions in the field of divulgation activities aimed at increasing awareness of seismic risk in the population and took part to TV and Radio shows. He is included in the Stanford University's World's Top 2% Scientists list.
