Simona Todaro

Simona Todaro serves as a Researcher in the Department of Earth and Marine Sciences at the University of Palermo, teaching Geology and Sedimentology courses for Natural and Environmental Sciences and Georisks and Georesources undergraduate programs through the 2026/2027 academic year. Her office is located in the Stratigraphic Geology Laboratory at Via Archirafi 20, with daily office hours for student consultation.

Her research centers on Sicilian carbonate platforms and Triassic-Jurassic boundary events, employing seismo-stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and isotope geochemistry to investigate mass extinctions, paleoenvironmental shifts, and coastal dynamics. Key specialties include Western Tethys paleogeography, redox condition analysis across extinction boundaries, and sedimentological characterization of drowned platforms. Recent work integrates remote sensing for shoreline monitoring and 3D modeling for CO₂ storage applications, reflecting strong interdisciplinary methodology.

Publication trends reveal consistent focus on Sicilian geology since 2010, with accelerating output in coastal management applications (2023-2025) and expanding isotopic techniques. Her work bridges fundamental stratigraphy with practical environmental solutions, particularly in Mediterranean coastal zone management and carbon sequestration site characterization.
