Patrizia Ziveri

Patrizia Ziveri is a Researcher at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, affiliated with the Department of Animal Biology, Plant Biology and Ecology. Her work focuses on marine biogeochemistry, ocean acidification, and climate change impacts on marine ecosystems, particularly through studies on coccolithophores, planktic foraminifera, and microplastic pollution in tropical mangroves.

Recent research trends include analyzing sediment cores from the Barents Sea and Mediterranean Sea to understand historical marine productivity shifts, assessing conservation measures for benthic species, and investigating microplastic accumulation in coastal environments. Her projects span international collaborations with institutions across Europe, Africa, and beyond, supported by grants from the European Commission and other agencies.

She contributes to datasets on calcareous nannofossils, coccolith fluxes, and particulate carbon dynamics, with over 168 research outputs and a high h-index (46) reflecting significant scientific impact. Her work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, emphasizing environmental stewardship and scientific education.
