Using thermochronology to constrain exhumation in the Swiss-Italian Alps
… taken in a vertical transect from the Southern Alps, south of the Insubric Line. (U-Th)/He Zircon dates from north of the Insubric line ranged from 7 to 14 Ma, and indicate an approximate exhumation rate for the region of 1000 m/Ma. U-Th/He zircon dates from south of the Insubric Line ranged …

Utilisation of remote sensing for the study of debris-covered glaciers: development and testing of techniques on Miage Glacier, Italian Alps
… studies at the Miage Glacier, in the Italian Alps. First, a new method of extracting debris-thickness patterns from ASTER thermal-band imagery was developed, based on a physical energy-balance model for a debris surface. The method was found to be more accurate than previous empirical …

INTO THE STRUCTURE OF THE PERMIAN DEEP CONTINENTAL CRUST: A MULTISCALE APPROACH TO RECONSTRUCT MIGMATIZATION IN THE VALPELLINE SERIES (DENT BLANCHE TECTONIC SYSTEM, WESTERN ITALIAN ALPS)
… in the Dent-Blanche Tectonic System (Western Italian Alps) which represents an exceptionally preserved exposure of Permian deep continental crust, despite being involved in the subsequent Alpine-age reworking. It shows migmatitic metapelite with different mineral assemblages (i.e., garnet-, …

Spatial population dynamics of recolonizing wolves in the Western Alps
… part of its former habitat in the South-Western Alps through dispersal from the Apennines beginning in the late 1990s. Prioritization of conservation actions and effective management of this species relies on estimates of wolf population trend, survival rates, occupancy parameters, and on the …

Natural product chemistry in drug discovery
… compound class to a species consumed in the Italian Alps. Together, the three publications illustrate the interdependence of chemical structure, biological activity, and biological origin in natural product research, and underscore the need for rigorous taxonomic and chemical authentication …

Spatial Downscaling and Forecasting of Atmospheric Variables over Complex Terrain Using Machine Learning
… resolution over the Non and Adige valleys in the Italian Alps. Our other objective includes spatial downscaling of the seasonal forecast of daily minimum temperature from 12 km to 250 m with one month lead. This study utilized ML models, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Random Forests (RF), and …

The hydrology of debris-covered glaciers
… and water balance of Miage Glacier, Western Italian Alps. The supraglacial hydrology was studied by modelling ablation using a distributed energy balance melt model, and measuring supraglacial stream discharges; the structure and evolution of the englacial and subglacial network was …

Contested nationhood: Literary Geographies of contemporary Italian Alpine borders
… and the sense of nationhood as expressed in Italian literature set in the Alpine border regions from the 1980s to the present. It explores how the presence of the national border, along with its related geopolitical, cultural, and social dynamics, influences Italian-language literary …

Assessing solar radiation components over the alpine region Advanced modeling techniques for environmental and technological applications.
… unevenly distributed and poorly available in the Italian Alps. Consequently they are inadequate for assessing spatially distributed incoming radiation through interpolation. Furthermore conventional weather stations generally do not measure radiation components. As an alternative, decomposition …

MODELLING CURRENT AND FUTURE WATER RESOURCES AVAILABILITY IN AN ALPINE CATCHMENT EXPLOITED FOR HYDROPOWER PRODUCTION
… hydrologic modelling of the Valgrosina valley (Italian Alps). It covers an area of about 130 km2 ranging from 1200 to 3400 m a.s.l. and is divided into two main branches: the Sacco valley (western side) and Eita valley (eastern side), where a dam for hydroelectric exploitation is located. The …

Streamflow Generation in alpine Catchments: The role of hydrological and geochemical information
… in the Vermigliana catchment, North-Eastern Italian Alps. The separation of streamflow into two different components allowed us to improve the conceptual model of the catchment introducing constraints that are impossible to envision counting only on streamflow measurements. Moreover, we show …

Sediment transport modelling at the catchment scale in Alpine streams
… analyses three river case studies located in the Italian Alps (Trento Province, N-E Italy)): Travignolo, Grigno and Leno di Vallarsa creeks. The Ph.D. work addresses four main research gaps, and is structured into four corresponding research elements. The first topic concerns the selection of the …
