Briefly... 

I am a palaeoecologist with experience in environmental archives from three continents (Europe, Asia and Oceania). My career deals with understanding long-term human-climate-environment interactions. To this end, I perform multiproxy-based reconstructions of Quaternary environmental change. Thanks to the long-term environmental records, I detect patterns and processes of environmental change, as well as the impact that climate and anthropogenic stressors have on the structure and functioning of environmental systems. My research focuses on four lines

1. Detecting long-term terrestrial responses to environmental stressors

2. Palaeohydrology of large lakes located at climate-sensitive areas

3. Conservation palaeoecology of seagrass meadows

4. Interdisciplinary study on humans and the environment
