Florencia Nidia Milanese

About me

I am a geologist and an Early Career Scientist that is developing more than 5 new research lines in my country and it is starting a new scientific group. I work at the Instituto Antártico Argentino and at the CONICET, and currently have three PhD students.
My most recent achievement was the foundation of the Paleomagnetic Laboratory of the Instituto Antártico Argentino, that is fully equiped to process hematite-free rocks and sediments.
I teach at the University of Buenos Aires and participate in several professional and scientific associations.
