BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES AND POSITIONS HELD:
Tommaso Caloiero was born on May 6th, 1977 in Catanzaro. He graduated in Civil Engineer (specialization in Hydraulic) from the University of Calabria, Italy in 2002, in 2005 he received a Second level Master Degree in Mathematical Modelling of Hydrogeological Disaster from the same University, and he received a Ph.D. degree in Hydraulic Engineering from the Politecnico of Milan in 2009.
Since June 2011, he has been researcher at the National Research Council - Institute for Agricultural and Forest Systems in the Mediterranean (CNR-ISAFOM), Rende (CS), Italy.
He did work experiences in different regional institutions in the Calabria region (Southern Italy) such as Regional Agency for Environmental Protection (ARPA), Civil Protection and Basin Authority. He has been a consultant for the Institute for the Industrial Promotion (IPI). He has collaborated as a scientific consultant with the Research Institute for Geo-Hydrological Protection (IRPI), the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (ISAC) and the Institute for Mediterranean Agriculture and Forest Systems (ISAFOM) of the National Research Council (CNR), with the Department of Soil Defence of the University of Calabria and with the Department of Environmental, Hydraulic, Infrastructures and Surveying Engineering (DIIAR) of the Polytechnic of Milan.
MAIN COMPETENCES:
Hydrogeological hazard prevention, hydrological and hydraulic studies of catchment areas; designing, realization and management of water and rainfall monitoring networks; topographic surveys (GPS and theodolite).
RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Climate trends and drought analysis at local and regional scales; statistical analysis of hydrologic and climatic variables (floods and drought); hydrological applications of G.I.S.; spatial analysis of the main climatic variables.
PEER-REVIEWING:
He has been a peer-reviewer for the Atmospheric Research, the Environmental Earth Sciences, the European Physical Journal – Plus, the Geoscience Letters, the International Journal of Climatology, the Journal of Hydrology, the Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, the Journal of Maps, the Natural Hazards, the Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences and the PLOS ONE.

continuous changes due to the discharge variability, passing from sudden catastrophic floods, when aggradation/degradation phenomena take place, to long inactive equilibrium periods, in which the riverbed assumes a final shape. Aiming at evaluating the main features of the erosion/deposition phenomena in the fiumara streams, two measurement surveys of the fluvial geometries, carried out at 20 years apart in 25 river sections of Calabria region, were compared. The results show a predominant though moderate erosion trend, which is more evident considering only the sections near the coasts. In
all cases, the slight temporal variation indicates a substantial balance after years of heavy human activities, such as weirs constructions and uncontrolled inert removal in the riverbeds. Particularly, for the longest river of Calabria, the Crati River, a degradation phenomenon has been recognized, due to the reduced transport capacity and the huge coarse sediment removal. This trend is still being implemented, although greatly diminished compared to the past.
