Catalogo dei Corsi di studio

Elisabetta Preziosi, she has been employed as a researcher in the Water Research Institute of the Italian CNR since 2001. She has a long-term experience in groundwater monitoring and water resources management, including numerical modelling and geochemical characterization of groundwater. Master in Geology (1989), PhD in hydrogeology (1997) at the University Sapienza of Rome (Italy), she spent two years at the Ecole des Mines of Paris (ENSMP) in Fontainebleau (France), as Human Capital and Mobility Network post-doctoral fellow (1994-1995) and then as a researcher (1997-1998). In 2000-2001 she was officer geologist at the Tiber Basin Authority, Rome, Italy. Visiting researcher at the CEH-NERC at Wallingford, UK in 2006.
She has been Principal Investigator or Team Member in several national or international projects focusing on groundwater quality and natural background level assessment (VFN-LAZIO, VIOLA) or quantitative aspects including drought impacts on water availability (AQUASTRESS, SICCITA, SECLI), financed by EU, Italian public boards or industrial partners.
Member of the EC Working Group Groundwater in the Common Implementation Strategy of the Water Framework Directive and Groundwater Directive since 2005, as an expert in hydrogeology for the Italian Ministry of the Environment and Territory.
In 2014 she obtained the National Scientific Enabling (ASN) of Seconda Fascia University professor (sector 04/A3 Applied Geology, Physical Geography and Geomorphology). She has been teaching a Groundwater Monitoring course at Sapienza University of Rome since 2019.
