**About the Editors**

**Chiara Colombero** has served as Researcher at the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering of Politecnico di Torino since March 2018. She graduated in Geology Applied to Engineering and Environment at the Earth Science Department of Universita degli Studi ` di Torino in 2012. From this same department, she received her PhD in Earth Sciences in March 2017, with her thesis in Applied Geophysics on microseismic and ambient noise monitoring of potentially unstable rock masses. She won the AGLC 2016 prize for a paper related to her PhD thesis. She currently works in the Applied Geophysics research group and is lecturer/teaching assistant for the courses Innovation Lab for Climate Change, Applied Geophysics, Exploration Geophysics, and Geophysics. Her research interests encompass seismic and non-seismic methods applied to a wide variety of fields, from rock mass stability to glacier characterization and monitoring, from surface-wave analyses for the detection of subsurface anomalies to geological and hydrogeological investigations in water-covered environments, and from engineering geology purposes to archaeological research and cultural heritage preservation and restoration. She is author of more than 40 publications in international journals and national/international conference proceedings and serves as gues<sup>t</sup> editor and reviewer.

**Cesare Comina** is Associate Professor in Applied Geophysics at Universita degli Studi di Torino. ` He has also served as Research Associate at Politecnico di Torino where he previously graduated in Civil Engineering and was awarded his PhD in Geotechnical Engineering. In the past years, he has carried out his research at the Department of Structural and Geotechnical Engineering of Politecnico di Torino, where he collaborated on numerous funded research projects and participated in the scientific activities of the Geotechnical section. He is currently affiliated with the Department of Earth Sciences of Universita degli Studi di Torino and collaborates with the Applied Geology ` group. He has teaching experience in both Geophysics and Geotechnics. His research involves the use of different geophysical methods for geotechnical and geological characterization. He has been particularly involved in developing innovative testing apparatuses for geophysical monitoring of laboratory tests and has addressed the use of surface wave tests for dynamic site characterization. He is currently involved in research related to geothermal energy usage and exploration and has also worked on waterborne geophysical surveys for the characterization of riverbed or lake sediments. On these topics, he is author and co-author of more than 70 scientific and technical papers both in international journals and conferences.

**Alberto Godio** holds a degree in Mining Engineering (1988) and a PhD in Georesource Engineering from Politecnico di Torino (1993). He is currently Professor at Politecnico di Torino in Geophysics, Applied Geophysics and Design for Environmental Engineering. His main research interests are focused on the application of electrical and electromagnetic methods for prospection and monitoring in environmental, engineering, hydrogeology and geology, and glaciology. The main topics deal with numerical methods applied to the processing of geophysical data. He has been responsible for research projects within the framework of EU-funded programs; he was responsible for Life Project, a bilateral Italy–India project (2018–2020), and several national programs funded by the Italian governmen<sup>t</sup> (PRIN, FIRB) and regional agencies. He has been responsible for industrial projects with partners such as Italcementi, Teksid, and San Pellegrino. As the Delegate of the Rector for student mobility (2015–2018), he has promoted international cooperation among European universities in the higher educational framework; nowadays, he is the Rector's Advisor for student mobility and Erasmus+ program. He is author and co-author of 70 papers in peer-reviewed journals and more than 120 contributions at national and international conferences.
