Verones work is related to developing models for projected impacts on aquatic, marine and terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystem services. Human impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems call for novel methods to assess, quantify, and spatially differentiate their extent and consequences. She focuses on advancing the field of life cycle assessment (LCA) to improve and complement this widely used assessment approach. In addition, she and her fellow colleges investigate how trade influences and changes these impacts and how we can help to reduce biodiversity loss.

Moreover, she is chair of a task force of the life cycle initiative hosted by UN Environment on ecosystem quality within Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) and she is leading the effort to operationalize LC-Impact, a novel, spatially-differentiated LCIA method (see http://lc-impact.eu).

In 2019 she was awarded an ERC starting grant ( ATLANTIS).
