Research and collaborations
We combine field experience with academic research to develop sustainable geothermal projects, optimise mineral exploration and introduce innovative technologies to the sector.
University of Florence (UniFI)
Sismoelettrica’s collaboration with the University of Florence (UniFI), through Prof. Orlando Vaselli, scientific coordinator of the Laboratory of Geochemistry and Volcanology, and Prof. Pilario Costagliola of the Department of Earth Sciences, focuses on innovative projects in geothermal energy and mineral resources.
Geochemical analysis of natural systems
- Geothermal systems
- Hydrothermal systems
- Water resource assessment
Specific applications
- Geothermal prospecting
- Geochemical monitoring
- Isotopic analysis of different sample types
- In situ measurements of δ13C in CO₂ and CH₄
The collaboration draws on the laboratory’s equipment and highly qualified team, combining Sismoelettrica’s practical experience with academic research.
CGT – Centre for GeoTechnologies, University of Siena
With CGT – Centre for GeoTechnologies at the University of Siena, represented by Prof. Riccardo Salvini, we collaborate on remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), drone surveys and photogrammetry, field surveys and training.
Shared objectives
- Develop sustainable geothermal projects
- Optimise mineral exploration
- Conduct accurate environmental assessments
- Introduce innovative technologies to the sector
Research and development
Sismoelettrica is developing software tools for mineral exploration and aquifer and geothermal reservoir exploration based on multispectral and hyperspectral satellite data; these are currently under development and validation. Mineral exploration and prospectivity software.
