Development of innovative technologies for identification, monitoring and mitigation of natural and anthropic contamination processes

The ability to evaluate and manage possible harmful events by natural and/or anthropogenic forcers in the marine environment, with modern technologies, is based on the understanding of the potential mechanisms of the genesis of events and on the availability of tools capable of mitigating and possibly preventing / managing their effects on the environment and humans.

The main objective of the project is the creation of an integrated system of skills able to effectively and innovatively cope with some environmental risk-related issues, with specific reference to coastal marine environment. This environment, in particular in the Regions of Convergence, represents a strategic element for local economy, as well as an area of particular vulnerability either in terms of environment-related resources both or in terms of the effects on local residents’ human health.
