Luigi Capozzoli
Luigi Capozzoli: received a master of science degree in Civil Engineer with honour from the University of Basilicata (Italy) where he also holds a PhD in Environmental Engineering. He is a researcher at the Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis of National Research Council (CNR-IMAA) since 2014. Since the 2011, he is in charge of the Hydrogeosite Laboratory of CNR-IMAA.
The research activities involve electromagnetic methods (shallow and deep geoelectrical techniques, ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic, self potential) for geological, hydrogeological and archaeological applications. In details, he is involved in the applied geophysics for the characterization and monitoring of geothermal area, landslides phenomena, contaminated area, fault system detections, hydrothermal study on volcano system, oil detection. Moreover, he is involving on hydrogeophysical applications and the study on new geo-electrical approach in order to obtain high resolution investigation.
He is author of more than 10 papers published on international journals and submitted more than 50 abstract in national and international workshops and conferences. He served as referee many international journals.
Since 2014, he is manager and legal representative of the private geophysical company TOMOGEA (CNR Spin-off ) that works in the field of geophysics and he has actively participated to various works for engineering, archaeological and hydrogeological issues.

These modifications negatively impacted the natural systems in terms of groundwater and soil salinization, magnifying the risks due to seawater intrusion. In this study, we explored the proneness to seawater intrusion, testing a multidisciplinary approach based on hydrochemical and geophysical investigations. A significant portion of the coastal plain was selected for this purpose. A set of 49 groundwater samples was analyzed to define the chemical characteristics of the water and geoelectrical measurements were recorded along three long profiles. The geoelectrical surveys
showed in detail the aquifer bottom pattern where it is deeply incised by paleovalleys, defining the main hydrostratigraphic features, as it is necessary to prevent seawater intrusion worsening.
The hydrochemical data highlighted areas with higher seawater intrusion proneness. The acquired measurements show the high proneness to seawater intrusion, especially where the aquifer bottom is very deep below the sea level, also far from the coast, and the relevance of the detailed knowledge of the aquifer bottom in supporting any kind of management.
