Giovanni Leonelli

Giovanni Leonelli is an Associate Professor at the University of Parma in the Department of Chemical, Life and Environmental Sustainability Sciences. His work integrates geomorphology, climatology, and stable isotope analysis to study climate reconstruction and environmental dynamics in alpine and glacial systems.

• Focuses on climate change impacts in mountainous regions like the Alps, Northern Apennines, and Chilean Andes
• Utilizes tree-ring isotopes and GIS analysis for reconstructing environmental shifts
• Teaches courses on Cartography and GIS, Applied Geomorphology, and Geomorphological Hazards

His recent publications emphasize debris flow characterization, glacier retreat effects, and dendrochronological climate proxies. Scientific awards include recognition for his master’s thesis in Natural and Environmental Sciences by the Lombardy Institute (2003).
