Filomena Ornella Amore

Filomena Ornella Amore is an Associate Professor at the Department of Science and Technology, University of Sannio. Her research focuses on micropaleontology, paleoceanography, and biostratigraphy, with particular emphasis on calcareous nannofossils and planktonic foraminifera as proxies for reconstructing Quaternary climate changes.

Her work spans multiple regions, including the Tyrrhenian Sea, Iberian Margin, and Magellan Strait. Key methodologies involve

• multi-proxy sediment core analysis
• high-resolution biostratigraphic dating
• geochemical-nutrient availability studies

to decode paleoclimatic signals.

Notable trends in her 15 most recent publications include

• investigations of glacial-Holocene transitions
• Iron limitation effects on coccolithophore distributions
• augmented reality applications for cultural heritage
• geological mapping of Southern Italy
• chronostratigraphic challenges in Mediterranean stratotypes

Collaborations with international researchers (Flores, Voelker, Russo Ermolli) and institutions like INGV and IGP highlight her interdisciplinary impact.
