Hello everybody.
Hello everybody.


I am a researcher in Earth Sciences at the University of Padova, Italy. My specializations are stratigraphy, carbonate sedimentology and regional geology of the Southern Alps (which is a structural domain of the Alps, not the New Zealand's mountain chain!)

While I am reasonably skilled in my field of study, I am new at wikis (just posted an article in Wikipedia, my first one...). Thus, be patient if my work looks a little messy. I'll get better doing it.


Not much to add at the moment but you might like to look at my CV [http://www.geol.unipd.it/02_personale/home_preto.htm here].

=== Priorities ===
After some months here at [[Citizendium]], I realized I cannot spend much time in the wiki. So I set some priorities:
* First of all, I'll check new edits in important articles about Geology, with special reference to sedimentary geology and related sub-fields;
* Second, I'll take care of talk pages of hotly debate issues. I'll also write in the forum, in relevant threads;
* Third, but I doubt I'll find the time for this, I'll work on articles I find important. The most important for me will be [[Geologic time scale]].
* Third (?!), I'll work on articles I like. Which third comes first? [[God]] only knows...


Well, actually, I DO have something to add NOW.
=== Biases that I know about ===
I have just posted a suite of articles:
(feel free to edit here!)
* [[Stage (geology)]]
* [[Age (geology)]]
* [[Chronostratigraphy]]
* [[Geochronology]]
* [[Geochronometry]]
My idea is that those relatively simple articles will serve as a base to write the big ones: [[geologic time scale]], [[stratigraphy]], [[GSSP]] and perhaps a timeline of the events in geologic time.
 
If there is some Earth scientist around, please take a look, edit and comment! Either in my discussion page or in the discussions of the relative articles.


If instead you are NOT an Earth scientist, please take a look anyway! I need feedback also for the style, and anything else you might find odd or wrong. Ciao! Thanks!
* I believe [[Thomas Kuhn]]'s view of [[science]], as explained in "''The Structure of Scientific Revolutions''", is wrong, while I agree with [[Karl Popper]]'s "''Logic of the Scientific Discovery''".

Hello everybody.

I am a researcher in Earth Sciences at the University of Padova, Italy. My specializations are stratigraphy, carbonate sedimentology and regional geology of the Southern Alps, which is a structural domain of the Alps, not the New Zealand's mountain chain! By the way, there is a "Southern Alps" mountain chain also in Japan (thanks to Thomas Simmons who signaled it to me).

Not much to add at the moment but you might like to look at my CV here.

Priorities

After some months here at Citizendium, I realized I cannot spend much time in the wiki. So I set some priorities:

  • First of all, I'll check new edits in important articles about Geology, with special reference to sedimentary geology and related sub-fields;
  • Second, I'll take care of talk pages of hotly debate issues. I'll also write in the forum, in relevant threads;
  • Third, but I doubt I'll find the time for this, I'll work on articles I find important. The most important for me will be Geologic time scale.
  • Third (?!), I'll work on articles I like. Which third comes first? God only knows...

Biases that I know about

(feel free to edit here!)

  • I believe Thomas Kuhn's view of science, as explained in "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions", is wrong, while I agree with Karl Popper's "Logic of the Scientific Discovery".
  • I believe Italo Calvino is the best Italian writer of ever, and perhaps one of the 10 best writers of the world.
