Graziella Bozzano is a senior marine geologist at the Argentine Hydrographic Service (SHN) of the Argentine Navy and an associate researcher at the National Council of Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET), Buenos Aires. Her scientific interests focus on the understanding of sedimentary processes in deep marine environments, with particular emphasis on the submarine canyon systems and the contourite depositional system that develop in the Argentine continental margin. She is passionate about inter- and multidisciplinary research in marine sciences and coordinates the interdisciplinary group GeoMargen for geological and geophysical studies of the Argentine Margin at the SHN.
Graziella holds a degree in Geology from the University of Genova (Italy) and a PhD in Geology from the University of Barcelona (Spain). In 2007 she moved to Argentina to work in the unexplored southwest Atlantic. Over the years she has collaborated with several European and Argentine institutions and participated in 18 research cruises on 7 different vessels. She will be the only geologist on board the Falkor (too) cruise ” Underwater Oases of the Mar del Plata Canyon” and will later co-lead the multidisciplinary expedition “A Tale of Two Submarine Canyons”, which aims to better understand the relationship between submarine topography, ocean dynamics and bioproductivity.
