The Italian National board is made up of 11 postdocs and PhD students from different Italian institutions
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.
PhD student: Cà Foscari University of Venice.
Research fields: Biogeochemistry, Paleoclimatology, Physical Oceanography, Climate Sciences.
PhD student at Ca’ Foscari University based at ISP Bologna, working on paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions and calibrations using organic biomarkers in marine sediments. Bachelor’s degree in Physics (University of Parma), Master’s degrees in Environmental Physics (University of Bremen) and in Science of Climate (University of Bologna). She took part in oceanographic campaigns in the South and North Atlantic and in the Arctic Ocean.
Postdoctoral researcher: University of Genoa.
Research fields: Marine ecology.
Graduated in Marine Sciences at the University of Genoa. During the PhD she worked on Antarctic Echinoderms using morphological and molecular approach and on the analysis of convergent evolution and cryptic diversity in Ophiuroids.
Research consultant: Royal Historical Society.
Research fields: Polar History; Arctic History; Antarctic History.
Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (UK). He holds a Ph.D. from Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, where he completed a doctoral dissertation entitled “Italians in the Arctic: An International History”. He is an Alumnus of the “Giacomo Leopardi” School of Advanced Studies at the University of Macerata. He has been a visiting researcher at The Ohio State University and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Over the past decade, he has conducted archival research in Belgium, Brazil, England, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, and the United States.
Researcher: European Space Agency.
Research fields: Physical Oceanography.
He is a physical oceanographer working as Internal Research Fellow in the European Space Agency’s Science Hub. He hold a PhD in Environmental Phenomena and Risks, with a focus on climatic variability over the Southern Ocean. His scientific interest center on the complementarity of in situ and satellite data to advance our understanding of the interactions between ocean, atmosphere, and cryosphere.
Tenure-Track Researcher: Department of Chemistry, University of Turin.
Research fields: Analytical Chemistry – Elemental Analysis of atmospheric particulate matter.
He graduated in Environmental Chemistry from the University of Turin and earned his PhD from the University of Genoa with a thesis on the study of the isotopic composition of atmospheric particulate matter from polar regions. He is currently studying the elemental composition of atmospheric particulate matter.
PhD Student: University of Genova.
Research fields: Analytical Chemistry.
PhD Student at the University of Genoa, studying the elemental and isotopic composition of atmospheric particulate matter reaching the polar regions in order to investigate its long-range atmospheric transport.
PhD Student: in Polar Sciences, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
Research fields: Atmospheric Physic and Chemistry, Arctic Amplification, Aerosols.
She is an environmental scientist with a M.Sc. in Science and Technology for the Environment and the Territory from the University of Milan-Bicocca. Her PhD project deals with Arctic Amplification, studying the role of aerosols in the increased heating of the Arctic atmosphere.
Master Student: in Physics of the Meteo-Climate System, Unviersity of Turin.
Research fields: Paleoclimatology, ice core science, nonlinear climate dynamics.
Bachelor’s degree in Physics at Milano-Bicocca, He is focusing his research on abrupt climate change events through physical and geochemical analyses of dust in ice cores.
PhD Student: in Polar Sciences, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
Research fields: Arctic atmospheric aerosol; aerosol-cloud interactions; chemical and physical properties of aerosol; cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).
PhD student in Polar Sciences at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the CNR Institute of Polar Sciences (CNR-ISP), He studies aerosol-cloud interactions in the Arctic through the chemical and physical characterisation of atmospheric particulate matter. He hold a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and Materials Chemistry and a Master’s degree in Analytical Chemistry, both from the University of Bologna. He is also PhD Representative for the National Doctoral Programme in Polar Sciences.
PhD Student: in Sustainable Development and Climate Change at IUSS Pavia and the University of Insubria.
Research fields: Permafrost, cryosphere, geomorphology, climate change.
He hold a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences from Sapienza University of Rome and a master’s degree in Environmental Sciences from the University of Insubria in Como and Varese. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Sustainable Development and Climate Change at the IUSS in Pavia and the University of Insubria. He carried out field research for the 41st Italian Antarctic Expedition at the Mario Zucchelli Station and the British Rothera Station. During his PhD, he undertook four research missions at Toolik Field Station in Alaska. He is currently the Italian representative of PYRN (Permafrost Young Researcher Network).
