Profile

Matteo Verdone was born in Fiesole (Florence), Italy, in 1993. He received his BcS degrees in Forestry and Environmental Sience in October 2018 and his M.S. degree in Science and Technology of Forestry Systems (Forestry Engineering curriculum) in October 2021 both from the University of Florence. From 2018 he has been collaborating in the management and scientific activities in the Re della Pietra experimental catchment (Tuscany, Italy) where he developed his bachelor’s degree thesis on “Set up for hydrometeorological monitoring in a small mountain catchment and first results analysis” (2018) and his M.S. degrees thesis on “Hydrological response of a small Apennine forested catchment, Tuscany” (2021).

Research interests and PhD project

Matteo Verdone research project aims at better understanding the controls on throughfall variability and to use this information to improve the prediction capability of hydrological models and ultimately gain a deeper comprehension of the hydrology of forested mountain catchments in Mediterranean environments.
