Leader of 2 modelling work packages in an multidisciplinary project investigating quantitatively how the Adige River, Italy, reacted, in terms of river morphology and dynamics, to the heavy channelization of the 19th century. The project involved environmental engineers, geographers, geomorphologists, and geologists, from three universities and public agencies, and was founded by the Province of Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy.• Experience in hydraulic modelling for river eco-morphodynamics… Show more Leader of 2 modelling work packages in an multidisciplinary project investigating quantitatively how the Adige River, Italy, reacted, in terms of river morphology and dynamics, to the heavy channelization of the 19th century.

In particular, we demonstrated that i) the river was adjusted to an over-narrow section to allow the formation of sediment deposits, thus a less simplify ecosystem, ii) the local bank structures, aimed at protecting the activities of the population within the valley, significantly affected the pre-channelization river flow; iii) geological constraints had exerted a non-trivial control on the long-term river development, e.g. meanders length and sinuosity. Further details on the project and the main findings can be found at the following links (in Italian). Show less
