Summary
Florence Colleoni is a climate scientist and research leader with nine years of professional experience specializing in paleoclimate and ice-sheet modeling, sea-level variations, and science diplomacy. As Co-Chief Officer of the SCAR INSTANT research programme and a Senior Scientist at Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale, she bridges high-level Antarctic science coordination with hands-on model development and field-focused research. Her work traces glacial dynamics across the last 5 million years, integrating atmosphere, ocean and ice-sheet components to uncover links between tropical forcing and high-latitude responses. Florence combines academic depth—a PhD in Ocean, Hydrology and Atmosphere—with grant management, teaching, and fundraising experience, making her adept at translating complex paleoclimate insights into policy-relevant science. Based in Sgonico, Italy, she brings a rare mix of technical modeling expertise and international science diplomacy that advances understanding of past and future sea-level change.
