Silvana Magni

Research interests

My main research interests are in all aspects of the fluid-rock interaction from micro to macro scale; how to combine mineralogical and microstructural data to obtain information on this. The fluid-rock interaction is a complex field that involves mineralogy, microstructural study and physical analysis. I’m interested to investigate the role of the stylolites against the fluid circulation. I’m also interested to investigate the dissolution and the importance of karst system and permeability.
