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 has been the recipient of various honours, including the Volker Medal from the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), UNESCO and the World Metereological Organization (WMO); the Plinius Medal from the European Geosciences Union (EGU); the Witherspoon Lecture Award from the American Geophysical Union (AGU); and the Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). 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.
