Marina De Maio was a Professor of Applied Geology and GIS in the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy. She was a Representative of Politecnico di Torino in the European Technical and Scientific Committee (ETSC) and European Water Association (EWA) and Senior Consultant for UNESCO. She has published several articles as Author and Coauthor in various reputed national and international journals. Her research activity was mainly on geological risk assessment, aquifer vulnerability, pollution risk, water resources management, climate change, mining and GIS. She has developed some part of SINTACS method to evaluate aquifer venerability during her research work and has completed several international and national research projects. She has also served as Reviewer for many international and national journals.
