About
Silvia Riccucci is a geotechnical engineer and applied geologist whose research focuses on the stability and monitoring of natural and engineered slopes, particularly in the challenging environment of marble quarries. Her major contributions lie in the development and application of integrated monitoring systems that combine geotechnical instrumentation with topographic and remote sensing techniques to detect, analyze, and control ground deformation. This work is critical for ensuring safety in active quarrying operations and for preserving the cultural and geological heritage of the Apuan Alps, a world-renowned marble district. Her most cited paper, "Application of an integrated geotechnical and topographic monitoring system in the Lorano marble quarry" (2015), has garnered 25 citations, demonstrating its influence in the field. By bridging traditional geotechnical methods with modern remote monitoring, Riccucci has provided practical frameworks for real-time risk assessment, helping to prevent catastrophic failures and optimize extraction processes. Her research is a key reference for engineers and geologists working in high-risk, steep-terrain environments.
