Dr. Davide Oppo

Pioneer Production Endowed Professor of Geology

I am a broadly trained marine geoscientist, with my core research interests at the intersection of sedimentology, biogeochemistry, and geophysics.
Most of my research focuses on the multidisciplinary study of methane and other cold seeps.

I want to obtain a clear understanding of the processes governing fluid emission at the surface, a fundamental aspect to evaluate cold seeps’ impact on human communities and natural ecosystems, and to properly consider their role in geological models at the local and global scales.
