Salvatore Martino is a professor in engineering geology at the University of Rome La Sapienza, in Italy. His research interests lie in the study of landslides, slope stability, local seismic response, earthquake-induced effects, numerical modelling, and geotechnical laboratories. He is a reviewer of nine international and two national scientific journals, and is a member of the editorial board of the Italian Journal of Engineering Geology and Environment. Dr. Martino is also currently a consultant at NHAZCA Spin-off Sapienza and ACEA-ATO 2 S.p.A. He has published 54 papers on national and international journals, 51 on proceedings, and 14 monographies and book chapters. Marta Della Seta is a professor and researcher of geomorphology at the Department of Earth Sciences in the University of Rome La Sapienza, in Italy. Her research interests are in the morpho-evolution of the Earth’s surface in response to tectonic and climatic forces, focusing on tectonic geomorphology, geomorphological hazards, water erosion, and volcanic geomorphology. She has co-authored more than 40 research papers published on national and international journals, and is a member of the editorial board of Catena (Elsevier) and the Italian Journal of Engineering Geology and Environment. Carlo Esposito is an associate professor at the University of Rome La Sapienza, in Italy. His research interests are in the study of slope instability processes focusing on analysis of landslide susceptibility and hazards, seismic conditions characterization, analysis and prediction of large-scale gravitational instability processes, applications of geomatics to urban geology and geological risks, and geological modeling for the optimization of remediation of contaminated sites. Dr. Esposito is a member of the CERI research center, and combining his research activity with his professional activity, mainly carries out as a consultant for engineering companies on issues of hydrogeological instability and the design of underground works.
