Dr Stefano Salvi is technological director at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia: INGV), Osservatorio Nazionale Terremoti (ONT), Rome, Italy. In 1999 he founded the ING Remote Sensing Laboratory, and in 2001 the INGV Geodesy and Remote Sensing Laboratory. He works in a research group including engineers, geophysicists and geologists experienced in the use of space geodetic data for the study of ground deformation due to various phenomena, earthquakes, volcanoes, tectonics, gravitational mass movements, sinkholes, anthropogenic subsidence. He has authored over 80 papers on peer-reviewed journals on these subjects. He has been PI or co-PI for several research projects funded by EC, ESA, ASI, NASA, Italian Antarctic program, national and bilateral research programs, on the use of remote sensing data and techniques for geophysical applications and geohazard assessment. He coordinates the Italian Joint Research Unit supporting the European Plate Observing System (EPOS). He is a member of the CEOS Working Group on Disasters and co-lead of the CEOS Seismic Demonstrator. Since 2014 he is Chair of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the GEO-Geohazard Supersites and Natural Laboratories global initiative. Stefano is also a member of GEO DRR Working Group, supporting subgroup 2 and he is involved in Tasks 2.1 and 2.5.
