Matteo Vacchi is a coastal geomorphologist and his research is mainly focused on the Quaternary evolution of the coastal zones and on the impacts of global change on both landscape evolution and ecological assemblages of littoral areas. His current fields of interest are on palaeo-environmental reconstructions, late Quaternary sea level changes, geoarchaeology, marine biogeomorphology as well as geologic and geomorphologic mapping of marine and coastal areas. After his Phd obtained in 2012 at the University of Genova, he moved to France as postdoctoral researcher (University of Aix-Marseille and Montpellier III, 2013-2017) and in in the UK where he served as Lecturer at the University of Exeter (UK) in 2017-2018. In 2019, he was awarded with the Rita Levi Montalcini fellow, an Italian financial scheme to re-attract young scientists in Italy. For this reason, he moved to the University of Pisa in January 2019. His on-going projects and collaborations are centred on the multiproxy reconstructions of the coastal systems evolution in the last millennia in order to better assess the future of coastal environments in the context of the climate change. On these topics, he authored and co-authored more than 100 ISI papers since 2010. |
