The Environmental Systems Analysis Lab (LASA) belongs to the Department of Chemical Processes of Engineering of the University of Padua. LASA carries out researches on modelling of water quality (particularly eutrophication), diffuse pollution and trophic network in marine and lagoons waters.
LASA (directed by Dr. L. Palmeri) comprises 5 researchers and 4 technicians, with different backgrounds:physicists, chemists, biologists and engineers. Furthermore LASA collaborates closely with other research groups of the University of Padua (e.g. fishery biology research group).
