Statistics of the videos of my lectures
In Spring 2012 I took the decision of regularly posting videos of my lectures in my YouTube channel (lectures are collected into playlists). I realized that it is relatively simple to bring in the classroom a camera with a tripod (which I bought myself because the university could not justify such expense), and it is actually straightforward to upload the videos soon after the lecture.

New scientific paper: "Historical rainfall data in northern Italy predict larger meteorological drought hazard than climate projections"
The scientific paper "Historical rainfall data in northern Italy predict larger meteorological drought hazard than climate projections" has been just published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS). The article is open access.
Article on Nature on the floods in the Emilia-Romagna region (in Italian and English)
Nature published an article titled "Examining the role of climate change in the Emilia-Romagna floods", that makes considerations on the causes of the flood and presents a brief review of relevant scientific contributions. I was interviewed by the journalist, thus the article includes some statements by me. I believe it is an interesting reading for getting more details on what happened.
Scientific paper "Contribution of anthropogenic and hydroclimatic factors on the variation of surface water extent across the contiguous United States"
The paper "Contribution of anthropogenic and hydroclimatic factors on the variation of surface water extent across the contiguous United States" has been just published by Environmental Research Communications. The paper is open access and is available here.

My interview at InsolvenzFest 2022 (in Italian) on "There's no water for everybody if the distribution is leaking: history of water debt...."
In September 2022 I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Luisiana Gaita at InsolvenzFest 2022 in Bologna. The interview focused on water resources management in the presence of climate change. In particular our discussion adopted the unusual view of looking at current water issues as a form of "water debt" that we are passing to future generations.
