Stefano Zanchetta graduated in Geological Sciences in 2002 in Milano. He got his Ph.D. in Petrology in 2006, working on the reconstruction of the tectonometamorphic evolution of high-pressure rocks of the Austroalpine units of the Eastern Alps and the hydrous phase stability in ultramafic rocks.
During the postdoctoral research activities his research interests shifted to field mapping and structural geology. He focused his research on the reconstruction of the evolution of structurally complex orogenic belts in several areas of the world, mainly in Asia (Pamir and Iran) and in the European Alps, dealing both with structures developed at upper and lower crustal levels. He worked as participant or responsible of research unit in several national (PRIN2009, PRIN2020) and international projects (MEBE, DARIUS) focused on the reconstruction of the orogenic evolution of the Cimmerian terranes and the evolution of the Alps-Himalaya orogenic belt.
His current research interests are the Permian tectonic and magmatic activities in the Southern Alps and their structural evolution, the evolution of orogenic peridotites and their chemical and mechanical interaction with the hosting crustal rocks, and the study of crustal-scale shear zones in different tectonic settings.
He is working since the 2002 in the CARG Italian National project with the Bozen Autonomous Province (Geological maps at 1:50.000) as a mapping geologist and scientific consultant for the sheets 006-SAN LEONARDO, 007-VIPITENO and 013-MERANO. He is currently the Field-mapping director for structural geology of the sheets 011-MALLES and 012-SILANDRO.
He is Associate Professor of Structural Geology at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences of the University of Milano Bicocca. He published more than 40 papers and geological maps in international scientific journals.
He is a member since 2018 of the Technical Advisory Board for Geological Maps of the journal Geological Field Trips and Maps.
