In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Chiara's work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
About Chiara
I follow many topics in Geoscience. Because of that, I've defined myself a "cocktail geologist”.
I worked intensively on the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the Northern Apennine-Adriatic foredeep system using 2D seismic profiles and well-log data. Beyond the modelling of sedimentary basins, I also worked in several laboratories: Padua (Italy), Bremen (Germany), Arizona and Texas (USA), and Glasgow (UK). I managed the Apatite Fission Track Laboratory from 2019 to 2024, and I taught the course of Basin Analysis within the Master's Degree, both at the University of Pavia (Italy).
I have also been honoured to join two oceanographic expeditions: IODP 393 in the Southern Atlantic Ocean in 2022 aboard the Joides Resolution and the Multichannel 2D Seismic Acquisition in the Blake Plateau (offshore Florida) in 2023 aboard the R/V Marcus Langseth.
Since 2023, I am also focussing on the study of the physical property changes of the oceanic crust due to low-temperature alteration and consequent precipitation of secondary minerals.
SKILLS and INTERESTS:
- Stratigraphic correlation and Basin modelling: surface and subsurface data analysis;
- Low-T thermochronology: mineral separation, fission-track and U-Th/He analysis;
- Petrophysics: Porosity and P-wave analysis;
- Laboratory Management;
- Outreach and activism: women in STEM
