UNIVERSITà DEGLI STUDI DI MILANO-BICOCCA
DANIELA BASSO: Full Professor at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy). Principal investigator of the project.
Research field: Ecology and paleoecology of macrobenthic communities; Bioconstructions and habitat engineers; biogenic carbonates and global C cycle; Mediterranean and Indo-Pacific benthic Holocene associations as recorders of natural and human-induced environmental changes; Biogeological record of recent environmental changes in coastal areas; Systematics, ecology/paleoecology and biogeochemistry of living and Cenozoic calcareous algae Corallinophycidae (Rhodophyta) and their role in the bioconstruction and the global climate change.
D. Basso is an Earth scientist specialized in biological calcification, with particular interest for benthic calcifiers and their response to climate changes. She has experience of research project management and was sitting in the Management Board of the Climate Change project DISAT "Dipartimenti di Eccellenza". She was leading the UNIMIB contribution to the POLIMI-EULA project and presented the main results of the project at the Geochemical Carbon Dioxide Removal workshop.
