IVANO W. AIELLO

Assistant Professor


Thank you for visiting my web site. This page presents an summary of my education and research activity. Links to specific subjects may be found within the text or via the buttons to the left.

 

I am the Assistant Professor of Geological Oceanography at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. I teach several graduate and undergraduate courses on different topics and methodologies concerning Marine Geology and cross-disciplinary fields in marine sciences. (Click here to view my "cv" and a list of my publications.)

 

I advise several graduate students whose Master projects include a variety of field-based marine and coastal geological studies in the Monterey Bay, in central California and elsewhere.

 

My fields of expertise include sedimentology, paleomagnetism and tectonics of biogenic marine sedimentary basins. (See my "cv" and publications.)

 

 

My primary current research projects include:

 

•

Sedimentologic, paleoceanographic and paleomagnetic studies of Mesozoic and Cenozoic upwelling biogenic sediments in Europe and the Pacific Rim (e.g. Monterey Fmt.)

 

  
   
 

 

 

  
•

Studies of the relationships between geology and microbial activity in deeply buried marine sediments recovered by the International Ocean Drilling Program (IODP)

 

  
   
 

 

 

  
•

Studies on tectonics, fluid flow and canyon formation in the Monterey Bay region of California

 

  
   
 

 

 

  
•

Geologic/geomorphologic and geobiological studies on California’s rapidly changing coastal environments/ecosytems including Elkhorn Slough

 

  
   

 

I have taught several graduate and undergraduate classes on Geological Oceanography disciplines as well as courses on interdisciplinary topics of Marine Sciences (see my "cv"), and mentored and co-advised graduate and undergraduate students.

 

MLML’s Geological Oceanography Lab research equipment allows the execution of a large range of laboratory-based, and marine- and field-based analyses.

 

For further information about the Geological Oceanography Lab at MLML and for potential students feel free to contact me.
