Elisa Arnone

Elisa Arnone is an Associate Professor at the University of Udine, affiliated with the Department of Engineering and Architecture. Her research focuses on Hydrology, Geomorphology, and Climate Change impacts, particularly through physically-based modeling of rainfall-triggered landslides and slope stability.

• Hydrology: Distributed modeling, rainfall-runoff dynamics, soil moisture analysis
• Climate Change: Drought forecasting, extreme precipitation trends, Mediterranean vulnerability
• Landslides: Mechanisms, susceptibility mapping, vegetation effects on slope stability

Her recent publications (2023-2024) highlight interdisciplinary work integrating Environmental Engineering, GIS technologies, and eco-hydrological models (e.g., tRIBS-VEGGIE-Landslide) to address challenges in mountainous and Mediterranean regions. Key subfields include digital elevation modeling, root reinforcement, and reservoir management.

Elisa has collaborated with institutions like Georgia Institute of Technology and contributed to EU-funded projects (e.g., Horizon 2020 "cross-climate"). Her work spans tropical watersheds (Puerto Rico) and Italian basins (Fella River, Sicily), addressing climate change impacts on water availability and landslide risks.
