Antonio Ganga

I hold a PhD in Soil Science at the University of Sassari. My research activities are mainly connected to soil spatial analysis and environmental data management through GIS.I'm a member of SIPE, Società Italiana di Pedologia (Italian Society of Pedology), Association of Architects (http://www.nu.archiworld.it/index.php)and AMFM GIS italy (Automated Mapping/Facilities Management/Geographic Information Systems Italia)

Last research project: “Sostenibilità ambientale e socioeconomica delle utilizzazioni forestali nei cedui del Marganai” Environmental and socio-economic sustainability of forest utilization in the coppices of Marganai), 2018 - 2019. “PROGETTO STRATEGICO SULCIS – PROGETTI DI RICERCA PUBBLICO-PRIVATI" POR FESR Sargena 2014-2020.
