About
Simone Toller is a Technologist and Marine Environmental Geochemist at the Institute of Marine Science (ISMAR) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) in Bologna, Italy.
His research focuses on the biogeochemical dynamics of marine, coastal, and freshwater systems, with particular emphasis on sediment quality assessment, water chemistry, environmental monitoring, and long-term observation of aquatic ecosystems.
He contributes to the development and management of environmental observing systems and research infrastructures, promoting the integration, interoperability, and FAIR dissemination of scientific data to support ecosystem understanding, environmental assessment, and sustainable resource management.
