Giuseppe Gambolati received his doctoral degre with honors in Mechanical Engineering in 1968 from the Technical University of Turin. After graduating he joined the Department of Applied Mechanics of the University of Turin as an Assistant Professor and in 1969 the IBM Scientific Center of Venice with the specific committment of developing the mathematical model of land subsidence of Venice. Gambolati's scientific career at IBM spanned the period from 1969 to 1980: scientist (1972), advisory scientist (1974), head of the hydrology program (1976), senior scientist (1980). In 1980 Gambolati was appointed Professor of Numerical Methods at the School of Engineering at the University of Padua. In 1987 he became Director of the Institute of Applied Mathematics where he promoted the founding of the Department of Mathematical Models in Applied Sciences, which he chaired until December 1991. Gambolati is the author or coauthor of more than 250 international scientific papers, 120 of which in refereed journals, 14 book chapters and one book of Numerical Methods in Engineering and Applied Sciences which is used as a textbook for both undergraduate and graduate courses in the School of Engineering of the University of Padova. He is a member of several international associations and serves, or has served, as Associate Editor or Member of the Editorial Board of renowned international journals including Advances in Water Resources, Transport in Porous Media, Environmental Software, Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations and International Journal of Geomechanics. He was the recipient of the 2008 IACMAG (International Association for Computer Methods and Advances in Geomechanics) excellent contributions award for “significant contributions in research, academic activities and professional service in different regions of the globe”. In 2011 he was elected FELLOW of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) for “his unique and seminal contributions to geomechanical aspects of subsurface fluid flow”. He was also appointed “Commendatore” of the order to the merit of the Italian Republic by the President Giorgio Napolitano.
At present he is also a member of the IAHS/UNESCO-IHP (International Hydrology Program) Working Group on “Land Subsidence'”. Dr. Gambolati is currently involved in the projects of: 1- anthropogenic CO2 sequestration in depleted gas/oil reservoirs and saline aquifers of the Eastern Po Plain and Northern Adriatic basin; 2- geo-mechanical response to cyclic gas storage into depleted gas fields of the Po river basin; 3- Venice uplift by injecting seawater in a 600-800 m deep brackish aquifer underlying the Venice Lagoon; 4- Modeling simulation of faults/thrusts reactivation due to subsurface fluid injection/withdrawal and risk evaluation of the related seismic activity. His research and professional activity are mainly concerned with geo-mechanical modeling and prediction of land subsidence/uplift due to fluid (water gas, oil) withdrawal/injection, groundwater flow, and subsurface contamination transport, and the application of the corresponding computational models to the Po river plain and the Northern Adriatic coastland.
