Antonella Buccianti (born 1960) is an Italian statistician and earth scientist, known for her work on the statistics of compositional data and its applications in geochemistry and geostatistics.[1] She is an associate professor in the department of earth sciences at the University of Florence.[2]

Education and career edit

Buccianti was born on 7 August 1960 in Florence. She earned a master's degree in stratigraphy from the University of Florence in 1988, including work done as a student with Agip, and completed a PhD at the University of Florence in 1994. She obtained a permanent research position at the university in 2001.[1]

Books edit

Buccianti is the co-author, with Fabio Rosso, Fabio Vlacci, of the three-volume Italian book Metodi matematici e statistici nelle scienze della terra (2000).[1] She is co-editor of Compositional Data Analysis in the Geosciences: From Theory to Practice (Geological Society, 2006)[3] and Compositional Data Analysis: Theory and Applications (Wiley, 2011).

Recognition edit

Buccianti was the 2003 winner of the Felix Chayes Prize of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences.[4][1]
