Fausto Ferraccioli
Senior Geophysicist
Biography
Fausto Ferraccioli is a senior geophysicist at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS/NERC) where he is Head of Airborne Geophysics since 2002. Since April 2015 he is Science Leader of the Geology and Geophysics Team of BAS.
He has launched, led and coordinated major international geosciences projects over several previously unexplored Antarctic frontiers. He was for example the UK lead for a flagship project of the International Polar Year (AGAP), where 7 nations pooled their resources to study the least understood mountain range on Earth, the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains.
His scientific output includes publications in top-tier journals, including two papers in Nature, a paper in Science and two papers in Nature Geoscience. He has co-authored 110 publications and has contributed ~350 presentations at international meetings.
Between 2011 and 2012 Ferraccioli was cited in 505 news items worldwide, making him the most cited member of BAS staff. His research on the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains was also highly viewed online with over 1.5 ML viewers on the BBC.
Ferraccioli has been at the forefront in providing novel views of subglacial geology, crustal architecture and geodynamic processes that have shaped Antarctica over the last 20 years. He has also studied basal conditions and their impact on ice sheet dynamics and behaviour.
He was awarded a PhD in Geophysics in the University of Genova in 2000, following a degree in Geology that he completed in 1995. During his 9 years as an early career researcher, he was already a key player in externally funded Antarctic research projects of the Progetto Nazionale di Ricerche in Antartide (PNRA), contributing to 6 joint German-Italian geophysical and geological research projects over the Transantarctic Mountains and Marie Byrd Land.
He has convened sessions at international meetings and organised international workshops that have also helped in launching new international research opportunities in geosciences. He has experience in teaching Solid Earth geophysics at undergraduate and graduate level. He has supervised undergraduate and PhD students and is currently supervising an EU-funded Marie Curie fellow. He has mentored early career geoscientists, managed the BAS aerogeophysics team, has been a member of the BAS Geosciences Management Group and Managing Change group and is currently a member of the BAS Science Strategy Team.
He was awarded the Polar Medal in 2010 by HRH Prince Philip for “outstanding dedication and achievements in polar science”. In 2013 he was one of the candidates competing for Director of Science in BAS. In 2014, he obtained the Abilitation to Full Professor in Geophysics awarded by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MUIR). In June 2014, he was one the winners of the MUIR direct call competition for internationally recognised outstanding Italian researchers working abroad.
