Why Is Claudio Vita-Finzi Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Claudio Vita-Finzi, is an Australian-British geologist and academic. He was Professor of Neotectonics at University College London from 1987 to 2001, and has been a scientific associate at the Natural History Museum, London since 2001. His research is interdisciplinary, and involves the application of tectonics and planetary science on landscape change: this has led to him working alongside archaeologists and climatologists among others.
