Maristella is a postdoctoral research associate who is working with Annalisa Griffa at the Institute of Marine Science of the National Research Council in La Spezia (Italy). She holds a Master in Environmental Physics (Univ. of Torino) and she received her PhD in Environmental and Industrial Fluid Mechanics at the Univ. of Trieste where she studied Lagrangian transport and connectivity through FSLE technique. Her recent work is focused on the blending of drifter data with sea surface current maps to enhance pollutant transport estimates.
