Graduated in Biological Sciences (2006) at Sapienza University, Rome and PhD in Ecology and Natural Resources Management (2013),Tuscia, University, Viterbo. She recently joined as researcher the CNR, Institute of Polar Sciences (2020) in Rome (Montelibretti) and she is lecturer in Remote Sensing and GIS for the Master Degree Course in Ecobiology at Sapienza, University, Rome.
Her scientific activities started with studies on the anthropogenic impacts in marine and coastal environments and in 2011 she joined the team of technical research collaborators at the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research as an expert in ecology and geospatial application to environmental monitoring with a permanent position.
Her research spans from terrestrial to aquatic sphere and includes the use of remote sensing principles and methods in the field of ecology, geography and environmental sciences. She develops integrated models for ecosystem services assessment, natural capital estimation and natural resources monitoring, considering bio-geosphere cross scales interaction and addressing landscape spatial patterns and temporal process. She has experience in national and international research and capacity building projects, publications and dissemination in scientific contexts. She actively participates in the GEOBON Ecosystem Structure working group and in the technical roundtables supporting the European Copernicus and National Space Economy programs.

Current position: Researcher at Institute of Polar Sciences-CNR, Venezia; permanent position.
Previously: post-doc researcher at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice after she obtained a PhD in Science and Management of Climate Change from the same university (2016). Study grant holder at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice since 2011, after the master’s degree in Environmental Sciences.
Among her main research interests are atmospheric sampling and monitoring, gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analyses and development of analytical methods for the determination of persistent organic pollutants in the atmosphere and of biomarkers in lake sediments. Her present activity is mainly focused on the characterization of organic proxies in sediments, soils and stalagmites, aimed in particular at reconstructing paleofires, human presence and the composition of vegetation during the Holocene.
She collaborated and collaborates to several national and international (EU-FP7, EU-H2020, NSF-DEB) research projects and coordinates the “BioCyCLeS” project, funded under the National Antarctic Research Program (PNRA 2018). She co-authored 14 papers on international journals with more than 240 citations (h-index 7). She co-supervised 12 degree theses and took part in the scientific secretariat and logistical organization of the Annual Conference of the Italian Society for Climate Sciences (SISC) in 2017 and 2018.

She attained the master’s degree with honours in Applied and Environmental Geology at the University of Turin in 2010, with a thesis entitled Distribution, origin and consequences of fluoride content in groundwater in an area of the central sector of the Ethiopian Rift. She specialized in the collection, analysis and dissemination of data in developing countries and in geological and hydrogeological mapping and modelling through GIS data management. The working experience in the Alpine environment allowed the deepening into pedological and geochemical subjects. She worked as study grant holder on the Nunataryuk EU-funded Horizon 2020 project, coordinated by the Alfred Wegener Institute, that aims to assess arctic permafrost thaw and study how it contributes to climate change.
Present position: PhD Student at University Ca' Foscari Venezia, PhD in Polar Sciences; title of proposal: Modelling the fate of POPs distribution in permafrost: combine large scale to local perspective.

Graduated in Environmental Sciences (bachelor’s degree: University of Milano-Bicocca, master’s degree: University of Trieste). PhD in Science and Management of Climate Change at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
Actual position: temporary science researcher at the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy (ISP-CNR) in Venice. I had previously a research fellowship and occasional collaboration contract at the Department of Mathematics and Geosciences of the University of Trieste, research fellowships at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, research fellowships at the IDPA-CNR (then ISP-CNR) and a scholarship on the Italy-Slovenia InterReg project ACQUAVITIS at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
Principal Investigator of the PNRA 2018 project WHETSTONE on daily precipitation at Dome c, Antarctica. I have been collaborating with prof. Barbara Stenni for more than a decade and more recently with doc. Mauro Masiol. My research field is the isotopic geochemistry of water molecules, applied to polar and Alpine ice core for paleoclimate reconstructions, to Antarctic precipitation, to local precipitation in the Veneto region, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Slovenia and other areas, to surface and deep waters, sea water and water extracted from plants and soils.
I use Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) coupled with an HDO equilibration device and GasBench and also Laser Absorption Spectroscopy coupled with an autosampler and vaporizer and with an Induction Module for oxygen and hydrogen isotopic composition measurements.
I participated in the processing of the Ortles Alpine ice core in the cold room of the Ca’ Foscari University/CNR in Venice and of the SolarIce Antarctic ice core in the EuroCold lab at the University of Milano-Bicocca.

Master’s degree in Forest and Environmental Science (University of Padua), PhD in Land Environment Resources and health (University of Padua).
Current position: Researcher at Institute of Polar Sciences-CNR, Venezia; permanent position. Since 2010, my research activities have been on mountain and environmental science with a focus on the relationship between climate change and snow and ice dominated high altitude environments.
After my master’s degree, my activities were on geomorphology, hydrology and glaciology at TESAF department of the University of Padua. I have analyzed the interaction between the climatic variations of the last century (e.g. modification of the thermo-pluviometric regimes) and the changes of the Alpine cryosphere (e.g. variations in volume, variation of the seasonal snow cover etc.) as well as the consequences of global warming on the evolution of the glacial masses over thousands of years. During last years, I collaborated with international research projects such as Ortles project (a paleoclimatic research project) and POLLiCE project (analysis of pollen present on ice cores from the Alps).
My topic is on the analysis of climate evolution during the last 2000 years through the study of Alpine and Apennine ice cores. Since 2017, I am in the Italian team of Ice Memory, an international mountain glaciers salvage program research project. At the same time, I'm collaborating to the Col Margherita Atmospheric Observatory (MRG) project with the aim of measuring the atmospheric composition above 2500 m in the Dolomitic region.
