Overview

Simonetta Fraschetti is affiliated with the University of Naples Federico II in Italy and has focused their research on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with a significant number of publications in these areas. Their work spans several subfields, including ecology, oceanography, global and planetary change, management, monitoring, policy and law, and nature and landscape conservation.

Their research covers a wide range of topics related to marine and coastal environments. Key areas of study include coral and marine ecosystems, marine and coastal plant biology, coastal and marine management, marine and fisheries research, marine biology and ecology research, coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, and marine bivalve and aquaculture studies.

Simonetta Fraschetti has coauthored frequently with multiple researchers, notably Stelios Katsanevakis, Emma Cebrián, Erika Fabbrizzi, Laura Tamburello, and Gil Rilov.

Their recent publications reflect their ongoing research interests. These include:

  • Marine heatwaves drive recurrent mass mortalities in the Mediterranean Sea, 2022, published in Global Change Biology
  • A review of the combined effects of climate change and other local human stressors on the marine environment, 2020, published in The Science of The Total Environment
  • Twelve Recommendations for Advancing Marine Conservation in European and Contiguous Seas, 2020, published in Frontiers in Marine Science
  • Modeling Macroalgal Forest Distribution at Mediterranean Scale: Present Status, Drivers of Changes and Insights for Conservation and Management, 2020, published in Frontiers in Marine Science
  • A Roadmap for the Restoration of Mediterranean Macroalgal Forests, 2021, published in Frontiers in Marine Science

The most frequent venues in which Simonetta Fraschetti has published are Frontiers in Marine Science, The Science of The Total Environment, Open Research Europe, Journal of Environmental Management, and Environmental Research.
