Terrestrial Education and Marine Structural Design: A Post-Sustainability Framework for Ocean Engineering Innovation (2025)

This paper argues that in an era of accelerating climate change and rising sea levels, what truly matters is not merely the marine structure itself, but the foresight and adaptability embedded in its conception. As global urbanisation intensifies along coastlines and storms grow stronger while ecosystems degrade, there is an urgent need for transformative approaches to ocean engineering and design. We introduce Terrestrial Education, an interdisciplinary framework that moves beyond conventional sustainability models by integrating ecological intelligence, regenerative systems thinking, and advanced technologies.

“Space2030” Agenda: Space Economy’s challenges and opportunities in tackling global efforts (2022)

The New Space Economy for the 21st Century is tackling the global issue of sustainability with the deadline represented by the UN Agenda 2030 as any other terrestrial economy sector. Space applications and new commercial approaches are addressing socio-economic benefits from space-derived data. By meeting societal challenges and despite its vulnerability, space technologies and data act as a sustainable connector among objectives and, inter alia, a major driver and contributor to the UN SDGs.

A Method for Analog Space Missions Risk Analysis (2022)

We provide a general risk evaluation method for analogue space missions. The methodology incorporates elements of Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and involves the development of a tailored risk-reduction strategy. Additionally, we introduce the Risk Cube concept, a new and useful tool that can be applied to other types of Space missions and visualises the interconnection of different risks.
