Emerging contaminants in polar marine environments in a context of climate change
The thesis internship aims to evaluate the presence, spatial and temporal distribution of emerging contaminants in marine environments located both in the Arctic and in Antarctica. The student will acquire the analytical skills for the determination of organic micropollutants in environmental matrices, such as water and marine sediments, using different extraction techniques (solid phase extraction - SPE, pressurized liquid extraction - PLE) and instrumental techniques (UHPLC-HRMS, HPLC-FLD, GC-MS).
The application of the different methodologies will enable the student to process the data obtained in an integrated way, in order to understand the effects of human activity and climate change on the presence, spatial and temporal distribution of emerging contaminants in the Arctic and Antarctica. The internship will take place in person at the environmental chemistry laboratory of the Institute of Polar Sciences-CNR (Montelibretti headquarters, Research Area Roma1). Knowledge of English and availability of a laptop are required.
Target students: LM Scienze e tecnologie per la sostenibilità ambientale (curriculum WACOMA), LM Biologia Marina.
