He has been the recipient of many fellowships and has held the post of professor under contract at Oslo University and visiting scientist at the "Sapienza" University of Rome. In the 1990s, his research interests were in the fields of nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics, but from 2000 onward his focus shifted toward the Earth Sciences, and especially the study of natural hazards and fluid dynamics as applied to geophysical problems.

Rezensionen

"This slender volume offers a useful, quick study on Mars. ... The book is richly illustrated in both black and white and color. It is written in an accessible style that is thoroughly peppered with fact after fact; De Blasio offers plenty to intrigue readers about one of Earth's closest neighbors." (P. K. Strother, Choice, Vol. 56 (10), June, 2019)
