Rosamaria Salvatori graduated in Geological Sciences (1981) and received a PhD in Earth Sciences (1987) at the University of Rome La Sapienza. She started her scientific activity at CNR during her PhD and, in 2001, become a senior researcher at CNR-IIA. In 2019, she joined the CNR-Institute of Polar Science. She has also served as an Adjunct Professor in Remote Sensing and GIS at the Dept. of Ecobiology (University of Roma Sapienza) since 2011. Her research interests focus on the study of the spectroradiometric properties of natural surfaces (from Visible to Thermal Infrared range), aimed at the interpretation and analysis of products deriving from Earth Observation. Her scientific interests include environmental studies, at a local and global scale, in Polar and Mediterranean areas using multi-sensor and multi-platform remote sensing images, as well as the geostatistical analysis of environmental data and thematic cartography in a GIS environment.
