Research activity

ISP - Sede di Venezia-Mestre

The main research lines concern chemistry, geochemistry (elemental and isotopic analysis) and the physics of polar environments, with the aim of reconstructing and interpreting paleoclimatic events and understanding transport and accumulation processes of pollutants. This will allow an improved understanding of climatic changes as well as local and global contamination events, that are already occurring in the Arctic and Antarctic environments, as well as their possible future developments. Part of the activity of the Venice section is aimed at the development of high sensitivity analytical methods for the determination of inorganic and organic chemical tracers using mass spectrometric techniques, and for the quantification and identification of the polymers in microplastics.
The activities carried out by the researchers at the Venice are mainly within the strategic areas of Global Changes and Earth observations.

The research themes developed concern many chemical/geochemical as well as physical aspects using a multidisciplinary approach to safeguard these extreme vulnerable environments. The scientific activities take a holistic approach to polar environments by relating them to non-polar areas that may interact with them such as mountainous and other remote areas. In this context, attention is paid to the study of different environmental matrices: air, water (marine, lake, melt waters), snow, ice, sediments, soils, and permafrost, also through the combined use of data and models. The Venice unit also deals with remote sensing of polar marine environments with saPhonelite-based instruments and the application of saPhonelite observations for the monitoring and safeguarding of coastal environments that are heavily exposed to climate change. In addition, the main atmospheric physical parameters and processes are studied so we can deepen knowledge of the energy balance of the polar climate system.
