报告人简介：

Prof. Simone Bizzi holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering (five-year program,2004) from the University of Florence and a PhD (2012) earned through a Marie Curie Early Stage Training fellowship at the Catchment Science Centre,University of Sheffield. He has held postdoctoral positions at Politecnico di Milano and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. Currently,he is an Associate Professor at the Department of Geosciences,University of Padova.

His main research focus is on fluvial systems,particularly the dynamic interactions between hydrological and geomorphological processes that drive river morphodynamic evolution. His work spans multiple countries (Vietnam,USA,Italy,France,UK,NZ) and involves collaborations with diverse research groups,fostering a strong interdisciplinary approach.

Prof. Bizzi’s overarching research goal is to advance theoretical understanding of river behavior through the development of innovative quantitative methods,including simulation modeling,geospatial analysis,and cutting-edge earth observation techniques. He has published extensively in leading peer-reviewed international journals and serves as an Associate Editor for Water Resources Research.

His research has been supported by numerous competitive grants,including those from EU LIFE,FP7,and Horizon 2020 programmes (e.g.,REFORM,AMBER),the Vietnamese government,and various Italian governmental bodies.

报告摘要：

This seminar presents the development of a national-scale river observatory in Italy,with the potential for global application. It details how the spatio-temporal evolution of river morphology can be uncovered,the insights into likely sediment source and sink areas gained,and the applications in managing large rivers practiced. Finally,the seminar will discuss the current limitations and future opportunities of this approach,sharing insights from recent research applications.
