Stavroula Kordella holds a B.Sc. in Environmental Sciences (University of the Aegean, Department of Environment), a M.Sc. in Environmental Oceanography, and a Ph.D. entitled "Fluid seepage on and off-shore Western Greece", both from the University of Patras, Department of Geology. She has worked for 13 years as a Research Associate in Oceanus-Lab (Lab Of Marine Geology & Physical Oceanography, University of Patras). Throughout this time, she has participated in numerous marine geophysical, geochemical, geotechnical, geoarchaeological and marine litter projects carried out by Oceanus-Lab. She holds a B.Sc. in Environmental Sciences (University of the Aegean, Department of Environment), a M.Sc. in Environmental Oceanography, and a Ph.D. in “fluid seepage on and offshore Western Greece”, both from the University of Patras, Department of Geology.

 

Her research interests include multiple topics related to underwater exploration which are reflected in her published work. These topics include submarine gas seepage, gas geochemistry (methane), seawater hypoxia/anoxia, marine geoarchaeology, marine geology, and marine litter.

 

She has a keen interest in environmental awareness and protection and has worked extensively with marine litter pollution monitoring. She has developed audio-visual and written education and information material, and organized workshops and events for environmental awareness-raising projects, whilst she has participated in the design and implementation of EU funded marine litter based projects, including field work and data analyses (LIFE DEBAG-LIFE14 GIE/GR/001127, LIFE AMMOS-LIFE12 INF/GR/000985, MELTEMI- Balkan Med). She has worked with non-formal learning (e.g., Microplastics and Performance Arts summer school, LIFE DEBAG), and citizen science (beach litter monitoring with citizens and schoolchildren for Clean up the Med, LIFE DEBAG & MELTEMI projects). She has made hundreds of presentations to the general public and school students aiming at raising public awareness on environmental issues.
