ABOUT RAFFAELE LAFORTEZZA
PhD (Italy & Canada)- Full Professor at the Department of Soil, Plant and Food Sciences at the University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy. My research interests are interdisciplinary in nature and relate to the assessment of driving forces, interactions, and feedback mechanisms underlying ecosystem dynamics at multiple spatial and temporal scales. My research involves the development and use of remote sensing tools, including satellite images and LiDAR, GIS, multivariate statistical techniques and complex models accounting for uncertainty. I have published more than 200 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, including two books on landscape ecology and GIS modelling: “Patterns and Processes in Forest Landscapes” (Springer, 2008) and “Landscape Ecology in Forest Management and Conservation” (HEP & Springer, 2010). During the past 20 years, I have acquired considerable knowledge and experience in global change issues, including landscape ecology and sustainable urbanization, by coordinating and/or contributing to benchmark projects such as: GEORES (Italian Space Agency); CLEARING HOUSE (EU-H2020); GREEN SURGE (EU-FP7) and many others. I have been invited several times as Visiting Professor in top-level universities such as: the University of Cambridge, Michigan State University, the University of Hong Kong, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Beijing Normal University.
