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 here.

Well, actually, I DO have something to add NOW. I have just posted a suite of articles:

• 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!
