Biography
Dr. Alessandro Pezzoli has a Master Degree in Civil Engineering – Hydraulic Option (Politenico di Torino - Italy) and a PhD in Meteorology and Oceanography (Université de Toulon - France). He is Senior Lecturer (Adjunct Professor) in Weather Risk Management for the MBA in Environmental Economics and in Meteo-Hydrology Risk Assessment for the MSc in Geography and Regional Development of the University of Turin. He has a large expertise in Applied Meteorology and Applied Climatology considering its research about the analysis of the adaptation’s strategies to natural hazards generated by the extreme weather situations. He participated in different research’s programs among which it remembers the “Rede Litoral Project” (Analysis of the Climate Change effect in the Sao Paolo area and Santos coastal zone - Brazil), “Prometeo Project” (analysis of the Climate Change effect in the urban area of Guayaquil – Ecuador), COOPI-Chaco Paraguayan (analysis of the Climate Change effect on the drought’s patterns in the Chaco Paraguayan – Paraguay), UniCoo – Etiopia (analysis of the gender effect on the water’s use in the Ethiopia face to Climate Change effect), Anadia 2 in Niger (analysis of the flood security related to food security around Sirba river) and One Health in Kenya. He is Associate Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation (AFRIN), Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society (FRMetS), and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS).
