Her scientific research deals with a variety of different topics related to seafloor and sub-seafloor mapping, including submarine landslides and their potential to trigger tsunamis, sediment transport in coastal and slope areas, fluid flow along faults, and the threat they pose to offshore installations. Her interests also focus on marine georesources, including aggregates on continental shelves, cold seep and hydrothermal habitats as unconventional sources of non-energy raw materials through innovative recovery processes. Marzia participates in several EU projects, including EMODnet Bathymetry, where she coordinates the Central Mediterranean DTM contribution, and is leading different national projects sponsored by public stakeholders. She is vice chair of the joint IOC-IHO GEBCO (General Bathymetric Charts of the Oceans) Guiding Committee and member of the establishment team of the GEBCO Seabed 2030 initiative for achieving a complete bathymetric mapping of the ocean by 2030.
