Hi,
I am Luigi Folco, a planetary scientist at the Earth Science Department of the University of Pisa, where I hold the courses in Planetary Geology, Cosmochemistry and Geowriting.
My research focuses on the cosmochemistry of meteorites and micrometeorites to explore the origin and evolution of the Solar System, and on the geology and geochemistry of impact craters and their products to investigate the collision history of the Earth. I am also active in systematic searches for meteorites and micrometeorites in hot and cold deserts.
