My presentation at the Hydrology Days of the Italian Hydrological Society "Pandemics, geopolitics, economic inflation and water resources management"" (in Italian)

My presentation "Pandemics, geopolitics, economic inflation and water resources management" (in Italian) at the Hydrology Days of the Italian Hydrological Society is available for download at the link below. It's a new interdisciplinary adventure stimulated by the awareness that water resources management is driven by forcings related to political economy.

Thank you for your interest.

Tutorials of Coastal Engineering - 2023-2024

The course on Coastal Engineering is included in the study plan of the master degree program in Off-shore Engineering at the University of Bologna. The part of course that I am teaching counts 12 hours of lectures. The teacher will make extensive use of interactivity, with the options illustrated below. Lectures include about 4 hours dedicated to solving exercises by using the personal computer, by collaborative work by students and teacher. Students will be kindly asked to bring their own personal computer to solve the exercises.
