Postdoctoral researcher: Institute of Polar Sciences – National Research Council of Italy.

Research fields: Glaciology, Remote Sensing

Graduated in Natural Sciences, he carried out a PhD about the ablation areas in Antarctica by remote sensing applications and now deals with the analysis of Bio-Geo Albedo feedback at the Antarctic Ice-Sheet margins

Member of the board Pier Paolo Alfei

PhD student: 2nd year in Institutions and Politics, Catholic University of Milan

Research fields: History of International Relations

His PhD project focuses on the role played by Italy in Arctic exploration, with particular regard to the relation between polar expeditions and diplomacy. 

Member of the board elena bianco

PhD student: 3rd year in Climate Change. University Ca’ Foscari of Venice

Research fields: Climate Dynamics, Sea Ice

Obtained a Master’s degree at the University of East Anglia with a thesis on sea ice conditions in the Northwest Passage. Her PhD is in collaboration with the Ocean Modeling and Data Assimilation (ODA) research division at CMCC in Bologna and focuses on Arctic sea ice variability and its interactions with the atmosphere and the ocean at short time scales.

National Committee Representative marianna d'amico

PhD student: 3rd year in Polar Sciences. University Ca’ Foscari of Venice
