Mauro Marini

Director of Research

After taking my degree in Agriculture from the University of Perugia, Italy, in 1990, I have been with the CNR for more than 30 years. My interests are the chemical processes of soil, groundwater and seawater organic and inorganic compounds. Since June 1997 I have been focusing on the processes taking place in the sea. I have been in charge of numerous oceanographic cruises organized to collect physical and chemical samples throughout the Adriatic and the Mediterranean seas. I am especially interested in the biogeochemical processes taking place in the water column and at the water-sediment interface and in pollutant and xenobiotic interactions in marine sediments and organisms. I am the author or co-author of more than 280 scientific publications. I have been section head of CNR-ISMAR (Ancona, Italy) from September 2009 until it became CNR-IRBIM, in September 2018.

Research Projects



The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
