Research interests are in the field of theoretical and applied geomorphology, with special attention to geomorphological survey and mapping, slope instability and climate change, landslide risk and geoheritage. The research has mainly been carried out in the Italian Dolomites, Northern Apennines and Maltese archipelago, and secondarily in Greece, Spain and Svalbard. The research outputs show a strong international involvement thanks to the participation in a series of projects funded by the European Commission and the Council of Europe, often with leading roles.
The research outputs have been presented in about 60 national and international conferences and reported in more than 200 publications (92 listed on Scopus). The experience achieved in different research fields enabled also the publication of chapters on textbooks, books and entries on encyclopedias. He is also Editor of the book on 'Landscapes and Landforms of Italy' (Springer, 2017).
He is part of the Editorial Boards of the journals Geomorphology, Landform Analysis, Finisterra, Cuaternario y Geomorfología, Geografia Fisica e Dinamica Quaternaria, CSE, Revista de Geomorfologie and Water.
He has been main supervisor of 15 PhD theses in geomorphology.
