Caterina GOZZI

Interessi

La mia ricerca si concentra sullo studio dei sistemi fluviali complessi mediante l'analisi della distribuzione nello spazio e nel tempo delle specie chimiche nelle diverse matrici fluviali. Il mio interesse di ricerca si focalizza sull'analisi delle risposte dei bacini fliviali alle variazioni ambientali da un punto di vista olistico e multidisciplinare. In particolare, sviluppo metodoligie statistiche e geostatistiche innovative per comprendere la resilienza dei sistemi fluaviali ai cambiamenti globali.

Interest

I’m currently working on the study of complex river systems, investigating the spatiotemporal distribution of chemical species in riverine media. My research interest focuses on the analysis of the basin-wide responses to environmental variations from a holistic and multidisciplinary point of view. I apply a combination of statistical and geostatistical methods (e.g. CoDA, study of data variability) to achieve a better understanding of water system resilience to change.
