Becagli Silvia Graduate in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology in 1991 at the University of Florence, in 1998 Philosophy Doctor in Environmental Science with the thesis Study of Antarctic ecosystem by ice core chemical analysis. Since 1999 she has a permanent position at the Department of Chemistry - University of Florence. In 2013 and 2017 she obtained the National Abilitation for Professor in Analytical Chemistry and in 2017 she obtained the National Abilitation for full Professor in Analytical Chemistry.
Now she works on the application of innovative highly performance analytical methods for the determination of ions and metals in environmental matrices, mainly aerosols, snow and ice. The research activity is focused on the study of the atmospheric aerosol sources and transport processes in areas with different anthropogenic impact, with particular attention to polar areas (Arctic, Antarctica) and marine areas in the central Mediterranean basin. An important part of her research activity is the study of the cycles of natural substances, the anthropogenic contributions and the aerosol-climate interaction for present time, by aerosol measurements, and for the past by chemical analysis of ice cores drilled in Antarctica. She is Editor of the following Journal/issue:
- Special issue jointly organized between Biogeosciences and Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, Atmospheric deposition in the low-nutrient-low-chlorophyll (LNLC) ocean: effects on marine life today and in the future.
- International Journal Environmental Research and Public Health – Section “Environmental Chemistry and Technology” (IF 2018 = 2.468).
She is author/co-author of 117 and 122 publications from ISI Web of Science and Scopus respectively and she has H-index of 30.

Berto Daniela Graduated in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies in 1993, researcher at ISPRA since 2000. Head of the oceanography and Contamination of Aquatic Environments laboratory since 2009 at the ISPRA in Chioggia. My analytical expertise concerns the chemical characterization (elemental and isotopic) of dissolved, particulate and sedimentary organic substance in marine environments, transition waters and polar environments; analysis of contamination of water, sediments and organisms by organotin compounds; characterization of the stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in the trophic chain; analysis of dissolved nutrients in marine, transitional and polar waters. My activity focuses on the planning of the analytical activity required by the various institutional, national and European projects, in the evaluation of the quality of the data produced with the drafting of reports, field activities (boarding) and participation in institutional meetings and international conferences. In addition to my scientific activity, 70 international publications and 70 or more participations in conferences and posters, I am involved in terms of my chemical skills in national working groups and institutional roles, in particular as an expert and national representative in the established technical working groups at the European Commission and UNEP/MAP for the Barcelona Convention on the issue of contaminants since 2014.

For about 20 years, she has been involved in polar environment research, starting during her academic years and continuing to the present. She currently coordinates a Collaboration Agreement with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). She is involved in several national and international research projects and has produced more than 80 refereed and non-refereed scientific publications.

Calì Federico Master’s degree in Marine Biology at the University of Padova; PhD student at the University of Bologna (FishMed-PhD).
Since 2015 he has been working on national fishery monitoring programs, within the EU-Data Collection Framework, funded by scholarships of Ancona National Research Council (CNR). From 2015 he also has been participating in marine research activities of the Padova University, at the Hydrobiological Station of Chioggia. His fields of interest are inherent to the biological life cycles of commercial fish species of the Mediterranean and the Antarctic areas (notothenioids). In particular, he investigated reproductive traits of these species thought histological analyses of gonads, age structure/growth cycle by means of otoliths’ readings and some trophic features using the stomach content analyses.
He collaborated in more than 10 scientific trawl surveys in Italian water and joined the 38th Italian expedition to Antarctica (2022/2023).
