Fabio Terribile (born November 2, 1962, in Naples) is an Italian agricultural scientist and professor at the University of Naples Federico II. He is a pedologist and coordinator of the EU project Landsupport.




Life and work


After completing his degree in agricultural sciences at the University of Naples Federico II (1987), he earned a doctorate in philosophy (PhD) in soil science at the University of Aberdeen (UK) with a research thesis in pedology with his dissertation on the characterization of two Italian vertisoles with a focus on light and Electron Microscopy, Clay Mineralogy, and Image Analysis (1996). This was followed by activities as a research assistant at the National Research Council CNR ISPAIM (now CNR ISAFoM) in Ercolano (Naples) and as Associate Professor of Pedology at the Ministry of Agriculture of the University of Naples Federico II (2002).
