Response of vegetation to drought across global land biomes

Understanding the dominant time-scales at which drought most influences vegetation might help assessing the resistance and resilience of vegetation and improving our knowledge of vegetation vulnerability to climate change. In our article recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences we evaluated the response of the Earth land biomes to drought by correlating […]

Response to climate variability of large, regulated, basins

The response of hydrological systems to antecedent climatic conditions is interesting for understanding the complex relationship between climate and water resources. This is especially true in highly regulated river catchments, where human regulation interferes with the intrinsic natural complexity of large catchments hydrology. In a study recently published in Journal of Hydrology we analyzed the response […]

Modeling the spatial distribution of soil properties by Generalized Least Squares regression

Assessing the spatial distribution of soil properties has achieved considerable interest among soil scientists, both for testing hypotheses about the soil formation processes and for predicting the properties of soils at non-sampled locations (mapping). In our article recently accepted for publication in Journal of Soil and Water Conservation we discuss the main approaches to modeling […]

Post-doctoral researcher position

Applications are invited — Researcher in integrated landslide hazard analys We are seeking a post-doctoral researcher to collaborate on implementing an integrated landslide risk analysis within the EU funded research project ChangingRISKS. The post-doctoral researcher will have a leading role in the analysis of landslide hazard through numerical simulation. Coupled spatially-distributed models of slope hydrology, slope stability […]
