OBJECTIVES
I am interested in a multidisciplinar approach, involving seismology, mineral
physics and geodynamics, to study the interior structure and the physical
conditions of the Earth. Eventually, this could lead to a better understanding
of the Earth´s (and Earth-like planets) formation and evolution.
EDUCATION and QUALIFICATIONS
2000-2004
ETH Zürich, PhD in Geophysics, awarded in 2004 August, 23. Title of the
project: Inferring mantle temperatures from seismic velocities, supervised by
Prof. Dr Saskia Goes and Prof. Dr Domenico Giardini.
I evaluated how well upper mantle and shallow-lower mantle temperatures can be inferred
from seismic velocities, performing a sensitivity analysis of the major sources of uncertainty
(Cammarano et al., 2003-PEPI). A procedure to combine constraints from mineral physics
and seismology has been recently developed (Cammarano et al, 2004 - JGR). The results of
such procedure to constrain composition and temperature of the Earth´s mantle are submitted
in a different paper (Cammarano et al., 2005-EPSL). The interdisciplinary nature of the
project required gaining expertise in two different disciplines, mineral physics (elastic and
anelastic properties of minerals, comparison of different high P and/or T techniques, EOS)
and seismology (seismic models´ features, analysis of traveltimes and normal mode
frequencies data).

geoelectrical methods in the area of the fossil forest of Dunarobba (Umbria, Italia)”.
Relevant options included: Geophysics, Hydrogeology, Petrography
