My research activity is focused on understanding and modelling biogeochemistry and ecological processes in coastal and marine ecosystems in response to physical, climatic and human pressures. Working tools are numerical biogeochemical, hydrodynamic and ecological models.
I’m currently working on modelling the biogeochemistry of nutrients and mercury, on the fate and transport of oil spills, sustainability in aquaculture activities and on the analysis of marine ecosystems services, considering also climate change effects.
