Edoardo Rotigliano is a Full Professor in the Department of Earth and Marine Sciences at the University of Palermo, Italy. He teaches Physical Geography, GIS, and Applied Geomorphology courses with office hours held at the main campus (Via Archirafi, 22) and Trapani teaching center for Biodiversity and Technological Innovation students. His contact includes phone (+3909123864649) and email (edoardo.rotigliano@unipa.it). His research spans physical geography and geomorphology with emphasis on landslide susceptibility modeling, erosion processes, and natural hazard assessment. Key interests include geomorphometry, GIS analysis, hydrogeological phenomena, and coastal vulnerability. He employs advanced geospatial techniques and field-based approaches to analyze hazards in Mediterranean environments, particularly Sicily and Central America. Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal strong focus on landslide deposit prediction, inventory completeness validation, and multi-typology susceptibility modeling. His work integrates stochastic approaches, high-precision simulations, and field data to address geomorphological hazards across diverse landscapes from volcanic calderas to coastal zones. Notable case studies include El Salvador's Ilopango Caldera and Sicilian river basins. Scientific contributions include: Development of spatial validation protocols for landslide susceptibility maps Integration of preparatory and triggering factors in coseismic hazard models Analysis of scale effects in geomorphological modeling Experimental pedagogy for geoscience education As faculty member, he supervises student research and participates in geoscience education initiatives. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration between geomorphology, hydrology, and environmental engineering. Current projects focus on refining hazard prediction models through advanced sampling strategies and multi-source data integration for Mediterranean and Central American contexts.
