Physical Oceanography

I am a field-going physical oceanographer, an observationalist. My research is primarily directed at the ocean's stratification, circulation and mixing and its role in Earth's climate system. Historically much of my research deals with the Southern Ocean (Pacific Sector and Ross Sea), but studies of the warmer waters of the Mediterranean Sea compose a relevant part of my research activity started in 1991. In the last years I studied the transfer of heat and freshwater within the ocean and between the ocean, cryosphere and atmosphere in both coastal and oceanic environments with specific attention to stratified ocean bodies, to interbasin exchanges, to the dense water formation, to the ventilation of the deep ocean interior, to the polynya processes, and to sea-air-ice interactions. In the last decade I have also focused my interested in weather radar measurements for the identification of intense precipitation phenomena.

I am VicePresident of the National Scientific Commission for Antarctica, national representative of the Southern Ocean Observing, member of the Scientific Committee of the National Technological Cluster "Blue Italian Growth", member of the National PhD program in “Polar Sciences” - Curriculum Ocean and Cryosphere
