معرفی
Marco D'ORIA is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering and Architecture at the University of Parma, Italy, where he has been a faculty member since 2022, following a progression from Research Fellow to fixed-term Researcher. His work is centered on hydraulic and hydrological modeling, climate change impacts, and water resources management.
His research interests include:
- Inverse problems in surface and groundwater systems
- Calibration of hydrological and hydraulic models
- Climate change impacts on meteorological and hydrological variables
- Drought analysis and water scarcity
- Numerical modeling of flood events and aquifer systems
His recent publications (2024–2025) focus on climate-driven changes in groundwater levels (e.g., Iberian Peninsula), flood modeling (Parma River), hydrological scenario assessments (Po River), and water sustainability under drought (Tunisia). These works reflect a strong trend toward applied environmental modeling, interdisciplinary collaboration, and policy-relevant outcomes in water resources engineering.
Scientific contributions and recognition include:
- Referee for leading journals: Journal of Hydrology, Water Resources Research, Hydrological Sciences Journal, Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, Entropy, Global Challenges, and Mathematical Geosciences
- Member of the Italian Hydraulic Group (GII) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU)
He advises bachelor’s and master’s students at the University of Parma and participates in scientific collaborations involving physical modeling, field data collection, and climate trend analysis. He teaches graduate-level courses such as Climate Change and Hydrological Scenarios, Dams and Weirs, and Hydraulic Engineering Software, contributing to the education of future civil and environmental engineers.
No dedicated lab or research team is explicitly mentioned, but his collaborative projects suggest active engagement in multi-institutional research efforts focused on water systems and climate resilience.
