Giada Bufarale

Dr. Giada Bufarale is an Adjunct Research Associate at Curtin University's School of Earth and Planetary Sciences within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Her research focuses on geomorphological processes, marine geology, and Quaternary studies with particular emphasis on sea level controls, sediment systems, and coral reef evolution. She is affiliated with Curtin Perth Campus, located in Room 316 of the Geology Building.

Bufarale's work spans coastal and marine environments across Western Australia, investigating topics such as estuarine sedimentation patterns in the Swan River and Geographe Bay, coral reef development in the Kimberley bioregion, and seagrass bank evolution in Shark Bay. Her research employs high-resolution seismic imaging and chemostratigraphic techniques to understand landscape responses to climatic and sea-level changes.

Her publications (2015-2024) consistently address interdisciplinary themes of sediment dynamics, reef growth mechanisms, and Holocene environmental changes. Notable contributions include studies on the Quaternary evolution of Kimberley coral reefs and the geomorphic impacts of sea level fluctuations in estuarine systems.
