My presentation at the University of Calabria titled "Flood risk mitigation in the presence of climate change: Strategies for adaptation and mitigation" (in Italian)"

The University of Calabria organized a series of seminars titled "Giornate per la Difesa del Suolo". I presented a contribution titled "Flood risk mitigation in the presence of climate change: Strategies for adaptation and mitigation" (in Italian: original title: "Difendere il Suolo in presenza di Cambiamenti Climatici ed Ambientali Strategie di Adattamento ed Intervento"). The talk is similar to the one I presented at the Accademia dei Lincei in November 2016, with further consideration on strategies for adapting to climate change.

My presentation at at the XXXIV Day of the Environment - Rome, National Academy of Sciences "Lincei" - November 8, 2016 (in Italian)

At the link below my invited presentation titled "Cambiamenti climatici, rischio alluvionale e rischio geologico:
strategie innovative di adattamento e mitigazione" (in Italian) is available for download. The presentation was delivered in Rome, on November 8, 2016.
Thank you for your interest.

Poster on new paradigms in research and education

At the link below my poster in Italian titled "Nuovi Paradigmi per la Ricerca e l’Insegnamento in Idrologia e Costruzioni Idrauliche" can be downloaded. The poster has been presented at the 2016 Italian National Conference on Hydraulics and Hydraulic Works and focuses on new paradigms for research and education in hydrology and engineering.
An English version, that has been presented at the Eric Wood Symposium 2016, can be downloaded at the second link below. The two posters are not identical but they are presenting the same concepts.

Thanks for your interest.
