Alessandra Bonazza

PhD in Earth Sciences, since 2004 I am research scientist at the National Research Council of Italy - Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (CNR-ISAC), where I am Responsible for the Unit “Impacts on Environment, Cultural Heritage and Human Health”.

My academic background is geology, though I have worked in the field of heritage science for my entire career moving from building material characterization to evaluation of pollution and climate impact on monuments and archaeological sites. I am particularly interested in resilience and adaptation of cultural heritage to climate changes and environmental compatibility and durability of materials in restoration.

Principal investigator in several EC Projects, I recently coordinated the Study funded by DG-EAC “Safeguarding Cultural Heritage from Natural and Man-Made Disasters” and the Interreg Central Europe ProteCHt2save. Currently project manager of the Interreg Central Europe STRENCH.
