Leonardo Noto

Leonardo Noto is a Professor at the University of Palermo, affiliated with the School of Engineering and Innovative Technologies for the Environment. He teaches courses on hydrology, climatology, and climate change adaptation in environmental engineering programs. His research spans hydrological modeling, flood risk mitigation, climate change impacts, and ecohydrological processes.

• Key research areas: Hydrology, Climatology, Flood Risk Management, Ecohydrology
• Developed integrated tools for design flood derivation and climate change projections in Sicilian watersheds
• Pioneering work on blue-green roofs for stormwater and thermal regulation in urban Mediterranean contexts
• Active in remote sensing applications for environmental monitoring and invasive species detection
• Contributing to national and regional climate change impact studies (e.g., EXTRAFLOOD project)
