Summary:
Two young researchers, including an Italian, are participating in the High North24 expedition to the Arctic organized by the Prince Albert II Foundation of Monaco and the Hydrographic Institute of the Italian Navy.
Full Story:
The Prince Albert II Foundation of Monaco, in collaboration with the Hydrographic Institute of the Italian Navy, is currently organizing the High North24 campaign in Antarctica, which will run until August 10th. Matteo Monzali and Florian Heinze, two young researchers, including an Italian, have been chosen to participate in the campaign. Monzali, a PhD student in Earth System Physics at the University of Milano-Bicocca, focuses his research on snow and ice remote sensing. This campaign provides him with a unique opportunity to pursue his passion for polar regions and high-altitude environments while contributing to significant research. Heinze, a Master’s student in Geological Sciences at the University of Stockholm, specializing in marine geosciences, aims to obtain a PhD in marine geophysics and bathymetric mapping of the seabed. Participating in the High North24 campaign allows him to apply and expand his knowledge and field experience in line with his career aspirations. The campaign builds upon previous campaigns by the Italian Navy in the Arctic, with the aim of consolidating and developing scientific research, particularly regarding climate change in crucial areas. The young researchers are supported by the Prince Albert II Foundation, and the High North24 campaign integrates the projects and efforts of various organizations already active in polar regions. The integration of geophysical images with the collected data at sea will provide valuable information in different sectors, including climate change. During the campaign, Heinze and Monzali have been fully immersed in the life of researchers and surveyors, participating in hydrographic and seabed mapping activities.
