Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II - DICEA
This week we launched the first IAHS Academy course: “Advanced Hydrological Monitoring”, hosted by Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT), Ningbo, China.
A strong, highly engaged cohort of students is joining us to work hands-on across key themes in next-generation hydrological observation: sensor technologies, opportunistic sensing, image-based river monitoring, remote sensing/UAS workflows, data fusion, and AI-enabled analytics—with a clear focus on scalable, field-ready monitoring strategies.
He is Full Professor of Hydrology and Hydraulic Constructions at the University of Naples Federico II. He is currently chair of the IAHS MOXXI working group. His research primarily centers on hydrological modeling and monitoring. Recognizing the challenges posed by the complexity and limitations of traditional hydrological observations, he actively explores advanced and alternative monitoring techniques, such as the utilization of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) coupled with image processing.
