معرفی
Naomi Mazzilli is a Lecturer and Hydrogeologist at Avignon Université, affiliated with the Research and Innovation Support Department (DARI) within the Sciences and Agrosciences laboratories. Her research focuses on the characterization and modeling of karst aquifers, particularly in the Fontaine de Vaucluse region. She specializes in groundwater dynamics, monitoring techniques, and climate change impacts on karst systems. Key projects include automated measurement stations at the Rustrel Low Noise Underground Laboratory, collaborations with INRA and the National Karst Observation Service, and tracer studies in karst networks. Mazzilli emphasizes the importance of observational data and interdisciplinary approaches in advancing hydrogeological understanding. She is also involved in educational outreach, teaching hydrogeology and mentoring students through collaborative research projects.
Her work integrates hydrogeophysical methods like Surface Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (SNMR) and superconducting gravimetry to study unsaturated zone processes. Recent initiatives include developing the KarstMod modeling platform and the KarstID application for analyzing spring discharge data. These tools enhance the assessment of karst system functioning and vulnerability to anthropogenic pressures. Mazzilli’s research contributes to sustainable water resource management in karst regions, addressing challenges such as climate variability and groundwater contamination.
Collaborations span international projects, including studies in Peru’s Amazon-Andes karst systems and interdisciplinary efforts with geophysicists and environmental engineers. Her contributions to open science include publications on fluorescence-based tracing and Bayesian modeling frameworks, reflecting her commitment to advancing both theoretical and applied hydrogeology.
