Research & Publications

Paolo's main focus is numerical modelling of the physical processes that drive and modulate climate and sea level change on geological timescales (centuries-million of years). He studies ice sheet dynamics, sea level changes, coastal hydrodynamics, and the functioning of coral reefs. Paolo has published over 100 articles, chapters, and reports in scholarly and applied outlets.

Expertise & Projects

  • Based on research outcomes, we create solutions that local communities can directly apply. Read more here.

  • Coastal areas are impacted by urban development, which puts these areas more at risk regarding sea level rise and climate change. Read more here.

  • Outreach is an essential factor in mitigating or adapting to changing environmental circumstances. Read more here.
