Prof. GIORGIO BUDILLON - Curriculum Vitae – June 2016
Giorgio Budillon was born in Napoli (Italy) on 13 June 1962 and he
earned in February 1989 his degree in Nautical Sciences, majoring
in Physical Oceanography, at the Università “Parthenope” in Napoli
where he is now Full Professor and Deputy Director at Department
of Science and Technology.
He is a field-going physical oceanographer, an observationalist. His
research is primarily directed at the ocean's stratification,
circulation and mixing and its role in Earth's climate system.
Historically much of his research deals with the Southern Ocean
(Pacific Sector and Ross Sea), but studies of the warmer waters of
the Mediterranean Sea compose a relevant part of his research
activity started in 1991.
In the last years he studied the transfer of heat and freshwater within the ocean and between the
ocean, cryosphere and atmosphere in both coastal and oceanic environment with specific attention to
stratified ocean bodies, to interbasin exchanges, to the dense water formation, to the ventilation of
the deep ocean interior, to the polynya processes, and to sea-air-ice interactions.
The research activity is reassumed in more than 370 publications as author or co-author: more than
100 scientific papers published mainly on international journals (1 encyclopedia); more than 240 talks
at national and international meetings and workshops; tens of technical reports and dissemination
articles. Moreover he participated in more than 40 oceanographic cruises in Mediterranean Sea,
Southern Ocean, and Ross Sea (Antarctica).
