Beatrice Maddalena Scotto at EGU General Assembly

On the 16th of April, Beatrice Maddalena Scotto, participated in the EGU in Vienna and presented her work:

"Multi-model statistical system for monitoring the dispersion of pollutants: Mediterranean case study" (Beatrice Maddalena Scotto, Antonio Novellino, Giovanni Besio, and Andrea Lira Loarca).

'The Mediterranean Sea is facing escalating environmental threats due to increasing maritime activities, resulting in increased marine pollution. Effectively addressing these challenges necessitates an expanded focus on reliable monitoring services to predict and mitigate the impacts of pollution spills. This study aims to comprehensively understand the dynamics of oil spills in the Mediterranean region, with the objective of establishing a robust and user-friendly framework for an application. This application not only assesses historical oil spill events but also elucidates the intricate interplay of environmental factors, serving as a predictive tool for effective monitoring and planning'.
