Lecture notes for Climate Change Modelling, Mitigation and Adaptation
Climate Change Modelling, Mitigation and Adaptation concentrates on strategies and actions to mitigate the impact of climate change on society, with a particular focus on infrastructure design. I am teaching 36 hours of the course, including lectures given by the teacher and exercises developed by collaborative work by students and the teacher.
Lecture notes of Laboratory of Climate Change Adaptation
Laboratory of Climate Change Adaptation will propose practical activities finalized to obtain publicly available past and future climatic scenarios, test their validity with the support of data visualization and make their evidence-based analysis for estimating project variables.
Lectures Harbour Engineering 2025
The course on Harbour Engineering focuses on design of harbors and coast management. The part of course that I am teaching counts 32 hours of lectures. The teacher will make extensive use of interactivity, with the options illustrated below.
Lecture notes for Science of Climate Change 2025
"Science of Climate Change" will be taught in English for a total of 48 hours (6 credits) in the second semester. 24 hours will be taught by me, the other lectures will be given by Alessio Domeneghetti and Mattia Neri. Details are given here. The study plan for the first 24 hours - my lectures - is as follows:

Lecture notes for Climate Change Adaptation (Floods and Water Resources in a Changing Climate) 2024
Climate Change Adaptation (Floods and Water Resources in a Changing Climate for student of physics) is concentrating on strategies and actions to mitigate the impact of climate change on society, with a particular focus on water. The course will be taught with 48 hours of frontal teaching, including lectures given by the teacher and exercises developed by collaborative work by students and the teacher. The purpose of the course is to provide an overview of modern techniques for designing climate resilient environmental systems in the presence of human impact.

Video of my contribution to the "Meet the Laureate" recognition of the 2025 Stockholm Water Prize Laureate
I was invited to join the "Meet the Laureate" recognition of the 2025 Stockholm Water Prize Laureate Prof. Guenter Bloeschl. The event was held in Stockholm on August 27, in the presence of His Majesty Carl XIV Gustaf and Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Victoria.
Attending the Stockholm Water Prize award ceremony was an interesting and delighting experience.
Thanks for your interest.

Scientific article "Combining uncertainty quantification and entropy-inspired concepts into a single objective function for rainfall-runoff model calibration"
The scientific paper "Combining uncertainty quantification and entropy-inspired concepts into a single objective function for rainfall-runoff model calibration" by Alonso Pizarro, Demetris Koutsoyiannis and me has been just published by Hydrology and Earth System Sciences. It is open access. It focuses on calibration of hydrological models by using an objective function that combines uncertainty minimisation and entropy concepts.
