GIULIA RESTA

Project Manager
Graduated in Geology with a Minor in Biology from the University of Coimbra in 2021, having deepened her knowledge in mineral resources and environmental geology during her Master’s in Geology at the University of Porto between 2021 and 2023.
At the University of Porto, she participated as a research fellow in the Soil Health Surrounding project between 2022 and 2023, which was part of her master’s thesis. The objective was to infer concentrations and distribution of contamination by heavy metals in soils around an old abandoned Sb-Au mine in Northern Portugal.
In 2023, she worked on a European project, S34I, where she analyzed the potential of research results derived from Earth Observation, collected and analyzed existing information on coastal marine resources in Spain as well as seabed resources, and, finally, applied sociological surveys to assess the perception of the effects of mining areas on coastal areas.
Between 2023 and 2024, she collaborated with Território XXI, a technical consultancy company in the scope of territorial planning and management, where she participated in the preparation of technical reports within the scope of the National Ecological Reserve for several municipalities.
Currently, she is part of the Mineral Resources Cluster team as Project Manager.
