Claudio Zaccone is Academic Researcher in Agricultural Chemistry at the Department of the Sciences of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Foggia, Italy, and Assistant professor of Soil Chemistry at the same university. Since 1st June 2013, he joined the Department of Renewable Resources, University of Alberta, as Academic Research Associate.
His main research interests include: i) the molecular and functional characterization of fresh and humified organic matter in soils and sediments, ii) the interactions between humic substances and organic/inorganic pollutants, iii) the utilization of ombrotrophic profiles as archives of atmospheric depositions during centuries, iv) the evolution of organic matter in soils and sediments in relation to climate changes (soils as sinks or sources of C?), and v) biomass utilization in agriculture.
Claudio Zaccone is the author or co-author of several publications on these topics published in national and international journals and conference proceedings, and reviewer for several ISI journals. He is member of the Editorial Board of Geoderma (Elsevier) and E-Journal of Chemistry (Hindawi), and served as Guest Editor for the following journals: Biology and Fertility of Soils (Springer), European Journal of Soil Science (Wiley-Blackwell), Quaternary International (Elsevier). He is Chair of the Soil Chemistry Sub-division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), and member of the following scientific societies: International Humic Substances Society (IHSS), International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS), European Geosciences Union (EGU), Italian Society of Soil Science (SISS), and Italian Society of Agricultural Chemistry (SICA).
In 2012, Claudio Zaccone has been awarded by the European Geosciences Union with the Outstanding Young Scientist Award of the Soil System Sciences Division.
