Alessio Tomei is a PhD candidate in Geosciences and Environment, at the University of Pisa. Since the start of his of his studies, he has developed a passion for science, particularly chemistry, geology, biology, and environmental issues. His academic focus has been on the on degradation of cultural heritage stones and on environmental monitoring and quality assessment of water, sediments, and soil, using chemical and geochemical analyses. In his master thesis, he investigated the pollution of Chirchik and Akhangaran rivers, located in the Tahskent region, a complex and urbanized region of Uzbekistan.
His PhD project aims to develop an integrated isotopic fingerprinting method that combines hydrogeochemistry, isotope hydrology and the analysis of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs). Particularly, CECs will integrate the analyses of 15N-NH4 and Tritium to detect groundwater contamination from on-site wastewater leakage and off-site intrusion from nearby potential pollution sources. This research could contribute to future integration of CECs and environmental isotopes in monitoring guidelines for surface and groundwater in areas with mixed sources. To explore this, he will study a wastewater treatment plant that receives waste and leachate from various sources.

I’m a PhD candidate in Seismology/Geophysics at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Pisa. My research focuses on developing advanced methodologies for microseismic data analysis using Distributed Fiber-Optic Sensing (DFOS/DAS) technology. Specifically, my goal is to enhance DFOS-based microseismic monitoring techniques for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) operations. My PhD work is part of the EU-funded HORIZON Research and Innovation Actions (Project name: GeoHEAT; Grant agreement ID: 101147571), under the task “AI aided processing of drilling induced microseismicity in real-time”.
During my MSc thesis, I developed a denoising algorithm for borehole DAS-recorded microseismic data, particularly in the context of the offshore Ravenna CCS project with ENI S.p.A, where I collaborated during a 3-month internship. During this time, I supported DAS data acquisition and processing efforts, gaining valuable insights into real-world project management and operations while enhancing problem-solving skills.
As an additional experience during my Master’s program, I completed another internship at SLB (Schlumberger), where I further developed my seismic data processing skills by automating workflows, such as noise attenuation, using Python scripts, and collaborating closely with a diverse, multidisciplinary R&D team.
Overall, these experiences in leading companies sparked my curiosity in research and ultimately led me to pursue a PhD.
I hold a BSc in Earth Sciences (2022) and a MSc in Exploration and Applied Geophysics at University of Pisa (Cum Laude, 2024) from the University of Pisa. My MSc thesis was titled: “Signal Enhancement of Microseismic Data with Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS): Applications in CCS Monitoring”.

My Ph.D. project aims to propose a palaeoenvironmental-palaeoclimatic reconstruction of the coastal environments of the Tuscan Pliocene through the studying of fossil record with a multidisciplinary approach.
Some scholars have proposed the Pliocene climate as an analog of that that will characterize the Mediterranean area in the (not-so-far) future. In this basin the ecosystems are dealing with a fierce variety of changes, due to a series of concauses, especially in coastal settings. As an effect of global warming, here the temperatures have increased +1.4°C since the late XIX, that is, significantly more than the global average (+1.1°C). In case of no decarbonization the temperatures are going to increase by an additional 1.5°C by 2050.
In this perspective, the study of Pliocene ecosystems might prove crucial for understanding the future patterns of Mediterranean biodiversity. The Tuscan Pliocene (central Italy) is home to a rich fossil record of vertebrates and invertebrates, mainly from the marine shallows.
Therefore, the Pliocene fossils from selected Tuscan localities (some of which are largely novel to science) are going to be studied from systematic and taphonomic points of view. Palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic inferences will be drawn based on quantitative palaeoecological methods (including geobiochemistry).
The results will be integrated with other records (sedimentology, micropalaeontology etc.) for refining the stratigraphic correlations between the Pliocene terrestrial and marine records, including a high-resolution reconstruction of the sea-level variations witnessed by the analyzed successions. Ultimately, the project promises to result in the elaboration of a reliable reference point for envisioning the future climatic and environmental evolution of the Mediterranean region, and especially of its coastal quarters, as global and regional warming progresses.

Bruno Freitas Pio de Azevedo is a PhD student in Geosciences and Environment at the Earth Sciences Department of the University of Pisa. His research is titled "Development, characterization, and application of modified zeolites for the removal of emerging contaminants from water." This research is part of the PNRR project and focuses on addressing one of the most pressing environmental issues today: water quality. In a world where clean water is essential for human health and ecosystems, finding efficient and sustainable methods for filtering emerging contaminants has become a priority.
Zeolites, a class of naturally occurring minerals, have proven to be extraordinary materials for water filtration due to their unique properties. They are highly versatile and possess a porous structure that allows them to selectively absorb pollutants. This flexibility enables them to adapt to the evolving challenges posed by new and emerging pollutants in water systems. By modifying these materials, we are able to enhance their efficiency in removing harmful substances from water, which is crucial in ensuring safe drinking water and protecting aquatic ecosystems.
The project, which is co-funded by DND Biotech, also focuses on the rapid growth and development of zeolite applications for water treatment. This collaboration between academia and industry not only advances scientific knowledge but also helps bring practical solutions to the water treatment industry. As the project continues to progress, it promises to contribute to more efficient and sustainable water purification methods, ensuring that the materials used are well-suited for integration into existing water treatment systems and capable of addressing future challenges.
Through this work, Bruno’s research not only sheds light on the potential of zeolites but also emphasizes the importance of innovation in water treatment technologies. Given the growing global demand for clean water, developing materials that are effective, adaptable, and easy to scale up is critical for securing water resources for present and future generations.

I am an environmental scientist specializing in paleoclimatic reconstruction of the Quaternary period. I graduated in Environmental Science from the University of Pisa in 2022, with a thesis focused on the 4.2 ka event in the central Mediterranean area. My research involved the study of four speleothems from Sarmidda Cave and Predargiu Cave (Sardinia, Italy), Stiffe Cave (Abruzzo, Italy), and Momichek Cave (Macedonia). Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Geosciences and Environment at the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Pisa. The title of my project is “Paleoclimatic reconstruction of the last glacial period in Eurasia through speleothems: implications for the extinction of the Neanderthal (Homo neanderthalensis)” with the main aims to reconstruct the climate of the last glacial period, specifically between 60,000 and 20,000 years ago, in the Eurasian region using proxy data from speleothems. This study is important because it offers new insights into the climate and environmental conditions that coincided with the extinction of Homo neanderthalensis, which occurred around 45,000 to 30,000 years ago. This research is part of the ERC-Synergy 2024 project "LAST NEANDERTHALS" and follows a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach. The goal is to provide new, high-resolution cultural, biological, and environmental data, offering a fresh perspective on the population dynamics of the last Neanderthals and providing a comprehensive explanation of the mechanisms behind their extinction. The study emphasizes the need for collaboration across Earth Sciences and Historical-Anthropological disciplines to understand how climate change influenced the behaviour and evolution of human communities in the past, particularly Homo neanderthalensis. The findings from past periods can also help make projections about the evolution of our species in the context of current and future global climate changes.

I'm a Brazilian hydrogeologist with a speleology background. I have worked with speleology (mostly) within environmental licensing in Brazil for almost 10 years. As a geologist, I’m very interested in interdisciplinary and applied research. This motivates me to engage with geoethics and science communication, in both national and international levels.
Since water is our most basic human need and most of the liquid freshwater is underground, hydrogeology was an opportunity to match geology with the needs of society. Thus, I’ve got involved in projects regarding gender and groundwater in Brazil (NUCAT/UNESCO), and about the inclusion of marginalised rural communities in Laos and Cambodia through sustainable groundwater access and use (IWMI). From 2022, I’m part of the Socio-hydrogeology Network (IAH) as Task Team Leader for Gender and Groundwater.
My PhD project at UNIPI is part of the project "PlasticUnderground (Integrated Cross-Sectoral Solutions to Micro- and Nanoplastic Pollution in soil and Groundwater Ecosystems)", funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (Project: 101072777 - PlasticUndergorund - HORIZON -MSCA-2021-DN-01). My research aims at contributing to understanding the impact of micro- and nanoplastic (MnP) contamination in groundwater and assessing the risk perception of such pollution on local communities. The project is characterised by being highly inter- and transdisciplinary. It includes the development of a stakeholder analysis and public engagement of groundwater users focused on MnP pollution. At the same time, develop a groundwater quality monitoring program to assess the occurrence of MnP at catchment scale, including sampling and measurement of major and trace elements, stable isotopes, emerging contaminants, and MnP analysis. The results will be used to develop an integrated analysis of risk perception on the actual presence of microplastics in groundwater in highly stressed aquifers.

Ph.D. Student in Geoscience and Environment at the Earth Science Department at University of Pisa. My PhD project aims to address the delay in the preservation of paleontological geosites by professionals in the field, developing measures to enhance the "ex situ" heritage (specimens stored in museum collections) and measures to protect the "in situ" heritage (outcropping or sub-outcropping fossiliferous rocks), with the goal of integrating ex situ and in situ heritage into a comprehensive conservation and valorisation plan.
Pisa Province and its paleontological heritage represent an ideal “open-air laboratory” for the implementation of this project. The approach will include both basic research and applied palaeontology and the main research activities will focus on:
- the revision and improvement of the atlas of Palaeontological Sites of the Province of Pisa;
- the elaboration of strategies of "preventive palaeontology" aimed at the conservation of the in situ heritage using GIS software;
- the digitisation of the main fossil outcrops and the corresponding ex situ palaeontological assets using structured light scanning and drone photogrammetry;
- the promotion of palaeontological localities of prime national or international interest through the collection and analysis of new fossils and the revision of historical specimens.
My academic background has mainly focused on taphonomy, specifically the preservation of organic tissues such as feathers in fossils. This was the main topic of my B.Sc. degree and M.Sc. at “Sapienza” University of Rome, first with a thesis on “Fossil evidence of feathers origin and evolution during the Mesozoic” and then with the thesis “The fossil vulture (Gyps fulvus) from the Late Pleistocene of Alban Hills (Latium, Italy): organic tissues analysis and taphonomy”.
After the University, I worked in different museums as a collection manager. During the fellowship at MUST (Museo Universitario di Scienze della Terra) in the Department of Earth Sciences of Sapienza University in Rome (Italy), I worked in the Paleontological collection, in particular I dealt with cataloguing the quaternary mammal fossils. Then I participated in the Regional competition TornoSubito Call for the Latium Region (Italy), with a project about the conservation and cataloguing of natural history collection in Italy and the role of naturalist in XXI century and I made a Work Experience at MUSE - Science Museum Trento and at Museo Civico di Zoologia di Roma. In my last experience at the Museo Civico di Zoologia di Roma, as a volunteer inside the Servizio Civile Universale (Civil Service), I worked on the Museum collections as a collection manager and a museum conservator. I have carried out an activity of monitoring, review and updating of systematics and taxonomic information of specimens. This work took place through the consultation of different online catalogs as paleobiodb.org and gbif.org.
My additional interests include Scientific Illustration and Science communication.

I am a geologist with a strong passion for marine geology, which I have cultivated over the years by focusing my studies on advanced seismic acquisition techniques in marine environments and the intricate processes governing the continental shelf and the formation, erosion, and transportation of marine deposits. During my undergraduate studies at the University of Palermo, I actively participated in a stimulating oceanographic campaign in the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea aboard the research vessel "Minerva UNO" of the National Research Council (CNR) in Naples, contributing significantly to seismic data acquisition. In the following academic year, I study the sediment cores collected from the seafloor of the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea, conducting detailed analyses of their content and characteristics at the sedimentology laboratory of the CNR in Naples.
In 2022, I seized a significant research opportunity by obtaining a scholarship within the framework of the "SPHERITAGE - Lessons for the future from the cultural heritage of the past" project. During this project, I played a key role in editing a detailed geomorphological map (scale 1:25,000) of the continental shelf in front of the archaeological site of Balzi Rossi, utilizing high-resolution bathymetric data. Additionally, I acted as a scientific supervisor aboard the research vessel "Portovado I" during a high-resolution seismic data acquisition campaign in the Liguro-Provençal continental shelf. Subsequently, I conducted the processing and interpretation of seismic data.
My current research project aims to identify submerged areas that were once exposed during periods of low sea level and may have hosted human settlements. The research integrates geological, geomorphological, and archaeological approaches to reconstruct the paleoenvironment and sea-level variations. The work includes modeling submerged marine terraces, sedimentological analysis, core dating, and the utilization of sea-level curves extracted from glacio-hydro-isostatic models. This trajectory reflects my dedication to underwater exploration and understanding the dynamics shaping the seafloor.

Alexandra Lyselott Montenegro is a PhD student in Geosciences and Environment at the Earth Sciences Department of the University of Pisa. They research project aims to optimise the road traffic distribution as mitigation action for road traffic noise exposition on sensitive receivers in the urban environment. Noise is caused by anthropogenic action on the environment and is one of the major environmental problems in Europe. The main source of noise pollution in cities is generated by road traffic and its prolonged exposure can cause significant health risk such as hearing damage, annoyance, affect mortality, sleep disturbance, cognitive interference processes and generally hit people's quality of life. The development of a sustainable action plan to mitigate community noise exposure is an incisive action towards the 2050 vision of a Healthy Planet for All, which sets out in the Zero Pollution Action Plan issued by the European Union a 30% reduction of noise exposure before 2030.
Alexandra L. Montenegro graduated in Civil Acoustics Engineer at the Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh) in 2018 with a thesis focused on urban roads classification methods, research topic which they explored in depth in their master’s studies in Acoustics and Vibration completed at UACh by 2020. During their young research career, they had the opportunity to learn and collaborate with researchers from Latino America, North America and Europe combining Environmental Acoustics, Urbanism and Transportation Planning. In parallel they also worked as a Project Engineer and later became RDI Manager in an Acoustic consultancy, where they evaluated the environmental acoustic impact of projects throughout Chile and developed new technologies for the sector.
They have been involved as a student volunteer in organising activities for different acoustics international conferences, such as FIA, INGEACUS, NOISE-CON and Forum Acusticum. Alexandra is currently an active member of the events committee of The Young Acousticians Network (YAN).
Alexandra’s main interests are interdisciplinary research and women/LGBTQ+ inclusion in science and technology. They also love playing drums, gastronomic tasting and participating in electronic music events.
