Tommaso Caloiero graduated in Civil Engineering (with a specialization in Hydraulics) from the University of Calabria. He received a second-level master's degree in Mathematical Modeling of Hydrogeological Disasters from the same university and a Ph.D. in Hydraulic Engineering from the Politecnico of Milan. He is Senior Researcher at the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) – Institute of Geosciences (GEO). Since April 2018, he has been a member of the Scientific Board of the PhD in Sciences and Environmental Engineering, Construction and Energy at the University of Calabria. Moreover, for the same PhD, since 2019, he has been a leader and a teacher for the PhD Course “Climate Change Analysis." He was featured on Stanford University’s list of the World’s Top 2% of Scientists from 2022 to 2026. He has published more than 100 scientific papers in international WOS/SCOPUS academic journals. He is Section Editor-in-Chief (Hydrology–Climate Interactions) for the journal Hydrology and Associate Editor for the Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration. His research interests include hydrology, climatology, climate change, natural hazards, hydrologic and water resource modeling and simulation, geographic information systems, environmental engineering, ecological engineering, land use change, and forest ecology.
