BIO

Francesco received his Master of Science degree in December, 2011 (with a thesis on snowpack mass modeling using SNOTEL hourly data). He got his Ph.D. cum laude at the Water Sciences and Engineering division of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA) of the Politecnico di Milano. During his Ph.D. he spent 3.5 months at the WSL Institut für Schnee- und Lawinenforschung SLF in Davos (Switzerland) and 3 months at the Snow and Ice Research Center (Nagaoka, Niigata prefecture, Japan). He deals with snow hydrology and physics, hydrologic modeling and precipitation statistics. In April, 2011, he has been awarded as the best graduated student in Environmental Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano for the year 2008/2009.

BIO

Pierfrancesco received his Master of Science degree in April, 2013, with a Master thesis project entitled “Modeling the hydrologic response of snow-dominated Alpine catchments: the role of sunlight exposure”, developed at the eco-hydrology laboratory of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH).
Since June 2013 he has been working for the Impacts on Soil and Coast Division at the Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change (CMCC) and has been collaborating with the EcoHyS research group in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA) of the Politecnico di Milano. His research activities focus on the impacts of the processes of snow accumulation and snowmelt on the hydrologic response of Alpine catchments, in the context of climate change.
