Summary
Alessio Rovere is a full professor and seasoned researcher in physical geography and geomorphology with over a decade of experience studying past sea-level changes and modern coastal dynamics. He leads interdisciplinary teams and has built and directed research groups across Italy and Germany, including tenures at Ca' Foscari, MARUM, and Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. His work blends field observations, numerical modelling, and ecological–geomorphological interaction studies to tackle coastal erosion, extreme wave impacts, and shoreline response to climate change. He has a track record of securing and managing research funding, translating science into applied projects through a startup role, and mentoring early-career scientists. Based in Venice, he brings a practitioner’s perspective—surfing, wing foiling and diving inform his curiosity—and shares reproducible code and tools for “geo-nerds” via GitHub to make coastal science more accessible.
