Sparnocchia Stefania

Ricercatrice in oceanografia fisica con esperienza nel settore sperimentale e dell’analisi dei dati, ha capacità di gestione di strumentazione marina di vario tipo. I suoi studi riguardano il Mar Mediterraneo e comprendono in modo particolare la dinamica della circolazione marina, la distribuzione e il trasporto di proprietà chimico-fisiche, la variabilità oceanica a diverse scale spazio-temporali, le interazioni aria-mare. E' impegnata dal 2009 su temi relativi allo sviluppo tecnologico e alla valorizzazione delle infrastrutture di ricerca marina.
