Biography

Giuliano Di Baldassarre is a professor of hydrology and environmental analysis at the Department of Earth Sciences of Uppsala University, as well as the head of division LUVAL, Air Water and Landscape Sciences. His research deals with risks, crises or disasters resulting from the interplay between water, environment and society. His multi-, inter-, and trans-disciplinary work combines qualitative and quantitative methods to advance fundamental science and inform policy in the context of disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and sustainable water management.

Giuliano Di Baldassarre's research has received international recognition, including the IAHS-UNESCO-WMO International Hydrology Prize, the EGU Plinius Medal, the AGU Witherspoon Lecture Award, and an ERC Consolidator Grant. He was one of the leaders (also serving as one of the Chairs) of Panta Rhei-Everything Flows (2013-2023), the global IAHS research initiative on water-society interactions, and served as the director of the Centre of Natural Hazards and Disaster Science (CNDS) in the period 2016-2025. He published more than 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals, including multidisciplinary ones such as Science Advances, Nature Sustainability, Earth's Future and Nature.
