Melissa Latella is a post-doc researcher at the Division on Impacts on Agriculture, Forests and Ecosystem Services (IAFES), in Viterbo, since 2023.
She holds a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Politecnico di Torino (Italy) where she studied integrating field and remote sensing data with eco-hydrological and hydraulic river models.
Her main research interest consists of investigating (1) how water, vegetation and sediments interact across rivers, watersheds and coastal environments, (2) the use of field and remote sensing data for monitoring and modelling natural systems, and (3) river restoration.
