Giovanni LEONE

My main interest is the volcanology of Mars but I'm also interested in the volcanism and the geology of the other bodies of the Solar System, including the volcanological characterization of the exoplanets. My main achievement so far has been the origin of the Martian dichotomy and its links to the volcanoes of Mars. I named the following volcanoes on Mars, names then approved by the Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature: Aonia Mons, Aonia Tholus, Electris Mons, Eridania Mons, Sirenum Mons, Sirenum Tholus. I'm currently involved in the application of muography to the study of the volcanoes and the environment of the Earth. Another field of research under development is the study of planetary simulants with future applications to biomining and space mining.
