Biography
Dr. Giovanni Bertotti had done his MSc at the University of Pisa (Italy) and got my PhD at the ETH Zurich working on the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the M. Generoso basin, a 20km wide and >8km deep extensional basin developed on the rifted margin of Adria and exposed in the South Alps (Italy and Switzerland). He then spent 1 year in N Africa tackling water-related problems in the Niger countryside. In 1991, his academic career started at the VU Amsterdam in the group of S Cloetingh. Since 2007 he got more and more involved in research on fractured reservoirs; more applied, surely challenging and still very much linked to fundamental science issues. From 2010, he spends 60% of his time at the Delft University of Technology, a place of huge know-how and of great people.
