Profile
Alessandro Errico achieved a Doctorate in Sustainable management of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Systems at the University of Florence, with a thesis titled “The effect of flexible vegetation on flow in drainage channels. Field surveys and modelling for roughness coefficients estimation”. He holds a Bachelor degree in Forestry Sciences and a master degree in Agricultural Science and Technology. He is now working at the GESAAF department of Florence as research fellow. He also works as consultant for river managers, farms and forest owners.
Research interests and PhD project
His research focus on describing the flow dynamics in vegetated channels, for addressing effective and sustainable management of flood risk in vegetated streams. With other research teams he is involved in studies about the role of agriculture in soil protection, focusing on traditional and innovative practices such as dry-stone wall terracing and bioengineering techniques.
