معرفی
Alberto Bellin is Full Professor at the University of Trento's Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering. His research focuses on hydrological processes in heterogeneous environments, including transport phenomena, water resources management under climate change, and subsurface-surface water interactions.
He holds a Ph.D. in Hydrodynamics from the University of Padua (1992) and a Civil Engineering degree magna cum laude from the same institution (1987). His academic career includes visiting positions at UC Berkeley and leadership roles including Head of the PhD School in Environmental Engineering and Head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Bellin's research investigates flow and transport in complex hydrosystems, climate change impacts on water resources, and integrated modeling approaches. His work combines stochastic methods with field observations to address water security challenges in Alpine regions. Recent studies examine climate change impacts on the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem nexus and develop decision-support tools for managed aquifer recharge.
His publications demonstrate consistent focus on improving hydrological prediction capabilities through advanced modeling techniques, with recent emphasis on climate-hydrology interactions and sustainable water management solutions. Bellin leads multiple EU-funded research consortia including GLOBAQUA and CLIMB projects.
He established and leads the Laboratory of Hydraulic Engineering at the University of Trento, supervising doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers. Current projects investigate climate adaptation strategies for Alpine watersheds and develop early-warning systems for hydrological extremes.
