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