Host: SCAR Plastic in Polar Environments Action Group steering committee

She has a degree in Biological Sciences (University of Messina) and a doctorate in Marine Science and Engineering (University Federico II of Naples). She is currently a CNR Researcher at the Institute of Polar Sciences (CNR-ISP), Messina, and was previously a research fellow at the Institute of Coastal Marine Environment (IAMC-Messina).
Her research activity is focused on the study of microbial communities present in deep and/or extreme marine environments, such as Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins (DHAB), Hydrothermal vents, as well as in polar environments, with particular interest in biodiversity, mapping of genes of biotechnological interest and bioinformatics analysis. She spent a period of training at the Oklahoma University (USA), at the Institute of Environmental Genomics. She has participated in ten oceanographic expeditions in the Mediterranean Sea aboard R/V Urania. She is co-author of publications in scientific journals. She has collaborated in national and international research projects (KILL SPILL- ULIXES- INMARE- RITMARE- DEEP_C - PON S.A.B.I.E. - COMMODE - MICROB3 - MAMBA - MIDDLE) and has been head of units (IAMC) for the Simply (Structures and IMmunologic Properties of LipopolYsaccharides from Antarctic psychrophilic bacteria) project.

Conclusa con successo la prima campagna di perforazione di Beyond Epica-Oldest Ice, il progetto di ricerca internazionale finanziato dalla Commissione europea e coordinato dall’Istituto di Scienze Polari del Cnr, che mira a ottenere, attraverso l’analisi di una carota di ghiaccio estratta dalla profondità della calotta, dati sull’evoluzione delle temperature, sulla composizione dell’atmosfera e sul ciclo del carbonio, tornando indietro nel tempo di 1 milione e mezzo di anni. (Carlo Barbante, coordinatore del progetto, direttore CNR-ISP, Università Ca’Foscari; Chiara Venier, project manager del progetto Beyond Epica-Oldest Ice, CNR-ISP)

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ICE, SNOW AND WATER IN A WARMING WORLD

August 21–26, 2022 Reykjavík, Iceland

The new Second Circular is now available online.

You are invited to participate in the Fourth Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project Arctic-Antarctic and North Pacific Mapping Meeting.

The goals of the meeting are to:
• Review the progress made since the last Seabed 2030 Arctic-Antarctic and North Pacific Mapping Meeting in 2020. This includes the status of the IBCAO and IBCSO
• Identify new bathymetric data sources
• Develop strategies to locate and unlock data sets for seabed 2030
• Develop strategies to coordinate and promote new mapping activities
