About
PhD. in Marine Geology (2001) from the University of Gent (Belgium), with a thesis on the first geophysical evidence of bottom current deposits in lacustrine environment (Lake Baikal, Russia). In 1995, Fulbright at the SCRIPPS Institution of Oceanography (San Diego, USA). From 1993 to 1995 in Brussels (Belgium) to conduct lobbying and management of European marine policies. At OGS since 2000, involved in the development of the European project STRATAGEM, showing that the North Atlantic continental margin does not respond to thetheoretical subsidence model proposed by McKenzie. In 2005, lead scientist of OGS scientific activities of the European project HERMES, where she contributed to the discovery of a new mud volcano province in relation to the Calabrian accretionary wedge in the Ionian Sea, with the research vessel OGS Exlopra. Since 2008 she coordinates OGS activities of the MAGIC project, funded by the Department of Civil Protection, in order to carry out the first geohazard maps of the seabed in the Ionian Calabrian and Apulia margins. Finally, collaborates with ISPRA for the geologic mapping of the Calabrian Ionian margin in the CARG project. Chief scientist of numerous oceanographic cruises in the Mediterranean Sea. Author of numerous scientific publications. Supervisor of doctoral dissertation and master's degrees in sedimentology, geomorphology and marine geology. From 2014 Chair of the Geosciences Committee of the Mediterranean Science Commission (CIESM). Chairperson of international sessions and workshops. Active in communication and outreach. She is fluent in English and French.
