I'm currently the Director of the Climatological Karstic Observatory of Borgo Grotta Gigante (Trieste, Italy), a facility managed by the Commissione Grotte Eugenio Boegan

 

In 2012 I designed and installed the automatic weather station (AWS) of Mount Canin-Kanin, located at 2203 m a.s.l. in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.

​

In the summer of 2021, I designed and installed the first permanent weather station in Sella Nevea. Initially equipped with sensors for air temperature, relative humidity, and a heated rain gauge, the station also includes a manual snow gauge and a webcam.

​

In early winter 2023, I designed and installed two high-altitude weather stations in the Julian Alps (Canin Massif) to study thermal inversions in frost hollows and depressions. In autumn 2024, I set up the highest water monitoring station in the Julian Alps (SE Alps), located on top of Canin Basso–Mali Kanin at 2571 m a.s.l.

​

All these facilities are part of the Alpi Giulie Meteo Lab, a project aiming to deepen scientific knowledge of this sector of the Alps by creating an altitudinal transect of weather stations from the valley floor to the peaks of the Julian Alps.

​

​From 2002 to 2020, I also served as the coordinator of the meteomarine monitoring network at CNR–ISMAR in Trieste.
