Anna Breda is Assistant Professor at the Department of Geosciences of the University of Padova. She obtained her PhD in Earth Sciences in 2003 with the thesis "The Gilbert-type deltas of Ventimiglia: Pliocene infill of a Messinian paleovalley (NW Italy)". During her PhD studentship, she was visiting scholar at UNIS (University Courses on Svalbard, Norway), and at ISMAR (Institute of Marine Sciences, CNR, Bologna), working on the development of sandy bodies along the shelf/slope/basin profile in the Central Tertiary Basin of Spitsbergen (Svalbard Islands), and on the instability processes occurring at the Quaternary shelf-edge and upper slope of the Eastern Tyrrhenian Margin (SW Italy).
Actually, she is working on: Triassic mixed siliciclastic-carbonate systems of continental to shallow-marine environments (Southern Alps); Quaternary stratigraphy of paleovalley systems (Tuscany); Mesozoic/Cenozoic evolution of continental/shallow marine successions related to the North Atlantic rift (Southern Alps and Norwegian Shelf).
Her main research interests are the study of clastic and mixed sedimentary successions of continental to shallow-marine environments (fluvial, sabkha, lagoon, deltas, estuaries, shelf and upper-slope systems) in terms of depositional processes and stratigraphic architecture.

Area di ricerca

I miei principali interessi di ricerca riguardano lo studio di successioni sedimentarie clastiche e miste di ambiente continentale, costiero e marino poco profondo (sistemi fluviali, di sabkha, laguna, estuario, delta, piattaforma e scarpata superiore) in termini di processi deposizionali e architettura stratigrafica.
