Dario BATTISTEL

Dario BATTISTEL is an Associate Professor at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, affiliated with the Department of Environmental Sciences, Computer Science and Statistics. His research focuses on Analytical Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Archaeological Science, with a strong emphasis on geochemical and paleoenvironmental studies. He leads the Laboratory for Teaching and Research Activities (RDRL) and collaborates with the Interdepartmental Center for Services for Experimental Disciplines.

His work spans biomarker analysis, electrochemical techniques, and interdisciplinary studies of human-environment interactions. Key contributions include investigating archaeological proxies, fecal biomarkers, and climate impacts through sediment and ice core analyses. Collaborative projects explore Antarctic brine ecosystems, Maya Lowlands anthropogenic impacts, and fire history in the North Atlantic region.

Recent publications highlight advancements in electrochemical microscopy, geochemical reconstruction of past human activity, and paleodiet analysis. His research bridges chemistry, environmental science, and archaeology, addressing both fundamental and applied questions in Earth sciences.
