Curriculum vitae
Pietro Teatini is associate professor in Hydrology and Hydraulic Engineering at the University of Padova, Italy. He received his MSc degree in Hydraulic Civil Engineering with honors in 1991 at the University of Padova, Italy. In 1994 he received the International Award "Paolo Gatto'', Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, for the modeling of the aquifer system underlying the Venice Lagoon. He is vice-chair of the IAHS/UNESCO-IHP "Land Subsidence International Initiative - LaSII" and member of the Steering Team "Regional Sea Level Change and Coastal Impacts" UNESCO - World Climate Research Programme. His research interests concern modelling geomechanical issues related to fluid withdrawal/injection from/into the subsurface. He also works on modelling land subsidence due to peat oxidation and natural consolidation, which are typical processes on natural coastlands (deltas and wetlands). He has carried out several studies on aquifer management and land subsidence-related issues in different parts of the world (Italy, Mexico, China, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Argentina, Iraq, Vietnam, and Sierra Leone). He is the author and co-author of more than 125 publications in international journals and of the book "Venice Shall Rise Again. Engineered Uplift of Venice through Seawater Injection" published by Elsevier. His current H-index is 40 (Google Scholar).
