Andrea Gasparotto is a Research Fellow in Physical Geography at the University of Southampton, specializing in geomorphic system responses to natural and anthropogenic stresses. His work focuses on fluvial and tidal environments, employing morphodynamic models and field data collection to analyze river and coastal evolution under external pressures.
Research interests span Fluvial and Tidal Geomorphology, River Bank Erosion processes, Flood Risk assessment in fluvial/coastal settings, and Environmental Change dynamics. His methodology integrates computational modeling with empirical field studies to quantify how human activities and climate drivers alter landscape stability and hazard profiles, particularly in vulnerable deltaic and estuarine systems.
Recent publications reveal a concentrated research trajectory on sediment dynamics across river basins, with emphasis on anthropogenic impacts like sand mining and climate-driven flood hazards. Key themes include hydro-geomorphic disturbance propagation, river-floodplain coupling, and hypertidal estuary instability, demonstrating methodological consistency in combining large-scale basin analysis with localized process studies.
Gasparotto currently contributes to the NERC-funded EVOFLOOD project, investigating climate change feedbacks in river channel evolution and flood risk modification. This grant underscores his active role in addressing contemporary environmental challenges through interdisciplinary research collaboration.
