Claudia Zoccarato specializes in numerical modelling of land subsidence caused by natural processes and human-induced activities. She graduated in Environmental Engineering from the University of Padua (Italy) in 2012. In 2016 she got her Ph.D. from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering Sciences at University of Padua with a thesis titledÌýData Assimilation in Geomechanics: Characterization of hydrocarbon reservoirs.ÌýShe has also contributed to the field of fault activation modeling with specific focus on Bayesian update of model parameters by assimilation of seismic data. More recently she has focused on the long-term evolution of land-surface in coastal environments under climate change. Currently, she is a Marie SkÅ‚odowska-Curie Fellow at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering of the University of Padua (Italy) working at the PRESERVE project in collaboration with the University of Delaware (US) and the BAW Institute (Germany). She will be investigating the below-ground behavior of shallow soils in intertidal environments and the complex interplay between soil, roots, and vegetation in shaping tidal marsh environments. She is an affiliate member of the UNESCO Land Subsidence International Initiative (LaSII) and advisor for VITAL, a group of experts working on solutions to enhance and restore the natural capital of the Venetian Lagoon (Italy).
