Research team

Federico Cazorzi
Associate Professor
Associate Professor in the Department of Agricultural, Food, Environmental and Animal Sciences (Di4A) at the University of Udine, in the subject area AGRI-04/A – Agricultural hydraulics and Watershed Management. His main areas of expertise and research include: hydrology and water resources management, with a particular focus on mountain catchments and snow and glacial dynamics; sediment dynamics and hydro-erosion phenomena in Alpine contexts; and the use of Digital Terrain Models and advanced techniques for landscape monitoring.

Alberto Beinat
Associate Professor
Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering and Architecture at the University of Udine, within the scientific discipline CEAR-04/A (Geomatics). His research spans a wide range of topics, from geodesy and topography to satellite positioning systems, aerial and terrestrial laser scanning, and digital cartography and remote sensing, with a focus on theoretical, technological, and methodological aspects.

Sara Cucchiaro
Assistant Professor
Researcher at the Department of Agricultural, Food, Environmental and Animal Sciences , University of Udine. Her research focuses on watershed management, geomorphometry and sediment dynamics in mountain catchments. She specialises in landscape monitoring using remote sensing techniques, GIS, multi-temporal analysis and Digital Terrain Models.

Eleonora Maset
Assistant Professor
Researcher at the Department of Engineering and Architecture, University of Udine, within the scientific discipline CEAR-04/A (Geomatics). Her research interests include the implementation of image orientation algorithms and the use of photogrammetric techniques for surveying the landscape and cultural heritage. She is involved in the development of methods for the acquisition and processing of laser scanning data and the use of mobile mapping systems based on SLAM technology.

Giorgia Chiarel
PhD student
PhD student at the Department of Department of Agricultural, Food, Environmental and Animal Sciences at the University of Udine. Her research focuses on the hydro-geomorphological monitoring of mountain catchments, with a particular emphasis on watershed management and sediment dynamics.

Christian Orlando
Research fellow
Research fellow on the Interreg Italy–Slovenia TORRENT project at the Department of Agricultural, Food, Environmental and Animal Sciences, University of Udine. His work involves GIS analysis, the management and standardisation of geospatial data, and support for field surveys. He specialises in Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
