Francesco Di Grazia

He obtained his PhD in Environmental Chemistry at the University of Siena (2023), where he worked on the development of new biogeochemical models for the analysis of nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) and organic carbon dynamics, current and future, integrating environmental data with participatory tools (citizen science).
His research activities focus on different components of freshwater ecosystems: on monitoring water quality, riparian vegetation and macroinvertebrates, on GIS applications and river ecosystem scenarios, and on the analysis of ecosystem services. Since 2017, he has been involved in Citizen Science following several national and international projects, and is particularly interested in the active involvement of schools in these activities.
