University
of Roma Tre is one of the three mains public Universities in Rome (Italy).
The University has the following 8 faculties: Architecture, Economy, Law,
Engineering, Literature and Philosophy, Education Sciences, Mathematics and
Physics, Political Sciences.
The
University is organized in 25 departments and 5 libraries. Any information is
available on http://www.uniroma3.it.
The
Department of Civil Engineering has a Water Resources unit, the activity of
which covers important scientific aspects of hydrology, hydraulic
infrastructures and water resources management. The field of expertise of the
Water Resources and Hydrology group of the Department includes the following:
floods and inundation, rainfall-runoff transformation, flood forecast, analysis
and modeling of rainfall, flow and transport in saturated porous media. In
particular, the Group’s contribution deals with the impact of climate change
and human activities on water quality and water availability, as well as extreme
events associated with water floods. The group brings practical and theoretical
know-how in the above fields, in collaboration with other academic institutions,
companies, and stakeholders.
Contribution
to CARiMan (see proposal CARiMan2.pdf):
The
Department of Civil Engineering of “Università di Roma Tre” intends to
contribute (as JPA-Manager, if required by absence of other qualified partners)
to:
-
JPA B.4.1 Fl (CARiMan in Flood emergencies)

CV
of the partners
Aldo
Fiori. Associate Professor, “Università di Roma Tre”, Aldo Fiori got the
Ph.D degree in 1995 with a dissertation on transport mechanisms of passive
solutes in heterogeneous porous formations. Then he spent a post-doc period by
the Tel Aviv University (Israel) and the Imperial College of Sciences (London).
The main research activity of Aldo Fiori concerns with the analysis of flow and
transport processes occurring in porous formations, with particular emphasis to
the role played by the physical and chemical heterogeneities which are present
in the natural aquifers. Aldo Fiori is now collaborating with the Tel Aviv
Universityand the University at Buffalo (USA). He serves as referee for various
journals, like: Water Resources Research, the Journal of Contaminant Hydrology,
Transport in Porous media and others. He is Vicepresident of the Groundwater
Committee (ICGW) of IAHS.
