Lucia (MSc Geology, PhD Paleontology) has over 25 years of experience achieved by working in New Zealand (GNS Science), Denmark (GEUS and DONG Energy) and Italy (ENI). Her main expertise is in the study of stratigraphy and depositional environments of Cretaceous to Recent sediments through the analysis of organic material. Also, she is trained operations geologist and coordinated operations in the Danish sector of the North Sea from 2005. Currently, she is leading a team over 50 scientists at GNS Science who specialize in hazards and risks, environment and climate, and energy futures across many aspects of land and marine geosciences in New Zealand.
