Simone Gelsinari

Simone Gelsinari is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Water and Spatial Science and an Adjunct Lecturer in the UWA School of Agriculture and Environment at the University of Western Australia. His expertise spans hydrology, hydrogeology, climate change impact analysis, and remote sensing applications. He holds a PhD from Monash University and CSIRO, with prior studies in Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering at the University of Pisa.

Research Interests: Simone focuses on advancing understanding of water resources management, groundwater recharge dynamics, and ecosystem responses to climate change. His work integrates remote sensing technologies with hydrological modeling to address challenges in sustainable water management, particularly in Mediterranean and coastal ecosystems.

Key Contributions: His recent work includes analyzing evapotranspiration changes post-fire in Mediterranean woodlands, assessing groundwater recharge in drying climates, and developing multi-sensor data integration frameworks for hydrogeological models. These studies highlight the interplay between climate change, vegetation dynamics, and water availability.

• Received the 2024 Vice-Chancellor's Award for Research Technical Support Excellence
• Collaborates with institutions like CSIRO Land & Water on interdisciplinary projects
• Active in advancing model-data fusion techniques for climate-sensitive hydrological systems

Labs/Teams: Core member of the Centre for Water and Spatial Science, contributing to initiatives focused on sustainable water management and climate resilience.
