Giorgio Pilla (male) Giorgio Pilla (male) is a Researcher in Engineering Geology at DSTA, where he leads the Laboratory of Hydrology, Hydrogeology and Hydrochemistry. He earned a PhD in Earth Sciences from University of Pavia, Italy, in 1996. The research activity is mainly addressed to: interaction between stream and groundwater in Po Plain and in Alps and in Apennines; water management and relationship with pollution by nitrates and other contaminants of urban-agricultural origin and hydrogeological characterization for the remediation of polluted sites; influence of human activities on hydrogeological setting of the Po Plain and in fractured rocks in Alps and Apennines (Italy) using hydrogeological, geomechanics, hydrochemical and isotopical tools (d¹⁸O and d²H of the water, d¹³C and ¹⁴C of the carbonates, d¹⁵N and d¹⁸O of the nitrates, d³⁴S and d¹⁸O of the sulfhates); vulnerability of groundwater to pollution; exploitation and management of mineralized groundwater; interaction between the deep paleo salt waters of the Po plain and fresh waters.
