Jaroslav MYSIAK

Jaroslav MYSIAK is an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics (DEIS) at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. His research focuses on climate risk management, disaster resilience, and environmental policy, with particular emphasis on flood modeling, nature-based solutions, and decision support systems for sustainable resource management.

He holds an academic appointment in the Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. His teaching activities include advanced courses on climate risk modeling and assessment at the master's and doctoral levels.

His key research contributions span climate adaptation pathways, flood damage assessment frameworks, and the integration of Bayesian networks for multi-sectoral risk analysis. MYSIAK has extensively engaged in developing policy-oriented tools such as the MULINO-DSS decision support system and the INFORM vulnerability framework. Recent work explores nature-based solutions for climate resilience and the governance mechanisms enabling their implementation.

His publications demonstrate expertise in cross-disciplinary research, bridging hydrology, economics, and policy. Current research themes include:

• Climate services evaluation and socio-economic impact analysis
• Resilience assessment frameworks for coastal and urban areas
• Cost-benefit analysis of flood defense infrastructure
• Integration of machine learning in disaster risk reduction

His work frequently addresses European and Mediterranean contexts, with studies on Adriatic coastal systems and Italian agricultural water management. MYSIAK's research has been applied in policy contexts including the EU's climate adaptation strategy and international disaster risk reduction frameworks.
