Dr Simone Martino

Simone has a multidisciplinary background that embraces scientific, social and economic aspects of natural resources and ecosystems, specifically oriented to the valuation of ecosystem services (in the marine and terrestrial environment), and to discover the implications for policy, governance and resource management. Simone’s research addresses both ecological and natural aspects of resource valuation by coupling ecological and economic models and contributing to discover trade-offs or win-win between users through deliberative approaches.
