Paolo Montagna del CNR-ISP racconta, insieme ai colleghi australiani Julie Trotter e Malcolm McCulloch, come i segnali geochimici dei coralli vengono tradotti in informazioni ambientali per la ricostruzione del clima del passato. E' un piccolo viaggio rivolto soprattutto agli studenti per capire l'importanza dell'Oceano Meridionale nel modificare il clima globale e per scoprire i segreti dei proxy geochimici.

How does a marine geochemist work? Paolo Montagna of the CNR-ISP and Julie Trotter and Malcolm McCulloch from the University of Western Australia tell how the geochemical signals of the corals are converted into environmental information for past climate reconstructions. It is a small trip especially for students to understand the importance of the Southern Ocean in modulating the global climate and to discover the secrets of geochemical proxies.

Polar scientists call for urgent action in view of rapid Arctic and Antarctic change. Sea ice is reducing globally at an unprecedented rate, with serious implications for not only Earth’s polar environments and inhabitants but also global weather and climate.

In particular, Antarctic sea ice has declined since 2016 at a rate not observed since the beginning of satellite records in the 1970s - a phenomenon that is concerning the scientific community and one that is currently not well understood.

Dr. Francesco Paladini de Mendoza's research focuses mainly on the dynamic processes at the water-sediment interface triggered by littoral and deep bottom currents. Over time, he has gained much experience in field measurements and management of instruments and platforms for monitoring the chemical and physical properties of the marine environment. He actively participates in the management of some observational network infrastructures (EMSO-ERIC and SiOS). He has published 21 scientific papers emphasizing measurement and multidisciplinary approach in the study of the marine environment. He has participated in oceanographic and geological-marine expeditions in the Mediterranean Sea and Oceans, accumulating more than 400 operational days at sea.

Roberto Colombo is professor of Remote Sensing at the Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Milano Bicocca. The main research interest is to develop remote sensing tools for quantitative estimation of land surface properties. He works with a wide range of Earth Observation data at different scales and geophysical methods, assimilating multi-source, multi-spectral and multi-temporal remote sensing data, from field spectroscopy to satellite level for modelling terrestrial and environmental dynamics, with focus on vegetation fluorescence and snow properties. Current activities include space mission concepts and definition, airborne campaigns and field cal/val strategies, engineering and design of proximal remote sensing instruments, algorithm development, environmental modelling and new applications.
