Just back from a beautiful ERB conference on small #catchments in Baja, Hungary. Good #scientific #discussions, nice people, great place and wonderful weather. And, after 4 years, I've completed my role of International Coordinator! @quercusilex92

It was nice to host Gabriele Chiogna in #Florence for a week full of #hydrological discussions, #field visits to our #experimental #catchments, wavelets ... and fun! @quercusilex92, @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social cnr-eco-hydrology-lab.org/sinczone-obs..., danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra
Congratulations to @quercusilex92.bsky.social and thank you @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social for this great work on #feedback in #forest - #soil -#atmosphere dynamics in a #mountain #forested #catchment! #soil #moisture #sapflow #VPD danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra
Three days in the #field with #students: in a #vineyard with those from #Agricultural #sciences, and two days in our #forested #catchments with those from #Forestry Sciences. I'm exhausted but happy, grateful, and proud! @quercusilex92 danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra
@egu.eu has started...why don't you take a look at the 10 selected geo-photos of the #EGU26 #photo competition and cast your vote for your preferred one? imaggeo.egu.eu/photo-compet... There is time until Friday. This is my contribution. imaggeo.egu.eu/view/19797/ "Through rocks, water, and time"
I love my #research #group on #catchment #hydrology and #ecohydrology @unifi.bsky.social! These people provide a diverse, stimulating, and fun working environment that everyone enjoys. Although dedicating appropriate time to everybody is quite challenging... danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra
One of the pros of commuting in Florence... biking to the Department through Cascine Park in spring! @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social #academiclife #research
#Research group meetings are privileged moments where everybody speaks, everybody listens, ideas and suggestions come up, and common planning is made. And, mostly, they are fun! I love and I'm proud of this group! @quercusilex92.bsky.social
Today, ten years ago, at 41, I started my position @ the University of Florence (pictures from 2016). What did I not accomplish in this decade? I had #papers and #proposals rejected; I did not receive funding to build a lab and to buy an #isotope laser spectroscope (see thread for the rest).
Happy for being hosted in the Sibillini Mountains National Park with #academic colleagues to give a seminar to professional geologists on #hydrological and #ecohydrological #processes in these #mountain #catchments @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social
Happy for participating to a workshop on #Artificial #Intelligence in #teaching @ University of Florence. There are limitations but also lots of potentials to explore.
Thank you @ Marco Borga and Giulia Zuecco for inviting me to @unipd.bsky.social TESAF for a seminar on controls on #runoff #processes in #forested #catchments www.nature.com/articles/s44...
So glad and honored to have the opportunity to do #research @UNI_FIRENZE with these lovely and great people! (One PhD student from Tunisia is missing in the picture). @quercusilex92. Two more members from France and China are joining soon. #hydrology #ecohydrology #forest #catchment #water
Visiting the Luxembourg Institute of #Science and #Technology is always a pleasure! Thank you @Laurent Pfister and @Richard Keim for hosting me, feeding me and for the nice discussions and collaboration ideas on #tracers #hydrological #processes #water #forest
Somw fun with #discharge measurents today in the Re della Pietra #experimental #catchment danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietr... #rainfall #water #precipitation #forest #streamflow
A new Analysis in Nature Water by Daniele Penna @danielepenna.bsky.social performs a comprehensive study of 691 forested catchments worldwide examines the interplay of biotic and abiotic factors in runoff generation. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Another paper from a #multi-approach experiment in the Re della Pietra #experimental #catchment: "Trees control hillslope subsurface flow" by Simone di Prima et al: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social @quercusilex92.bsky.social danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra
Trees use predominantly summer water in the Ressi #experimental #catchment. Thank you to Giulia Zuecco for leading this work! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... During the growing season, soil and plant water had a dominant summer origin but seasonality had a major role on their temporal origin.
Congrats to Matteo Verdone for his second PhD paper from the Re della Pietra #experimental #catchment: OA here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Thank you @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social @quercusilex92.bsky.social Ilja van Meerveld and Claudia Cocozza. danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra
visiting a #wetland with #students and talking about #water, #hydrology, #groundwater #ecosystems #birds
I'm super excited to share that I've been elected as the #EGU representative for #ECS for the term 2027-2028 🌍. A sincere thank you to everyone in the EGU community who voted, and a special thanks to @danielepenna.bsky.social for his support. I can't wait to start this amazing journey together!
Today at Villa Panna, Tuscany to present our #hydrological #monitoring in an artificial #wetland funded by a bottled #water company to local authorities, citizens, and the press.
Great #talk and #discussion at the Italian #catchment #hydrology day 2025 at the University of Florence! Special guests : Guenter Bloeschl and Laurent Pfister! Thank you @quercusilex92.bsky.social and all the others of our team for the fantastic organization!
Honoured and happy to visit the Re della Pietra #experimental #catchment with Laurent Pfister from LIST Luxembourg today. Discussions in the #field always stimulate new #ideas. www.danielepenna.wixsite.com #hydrology #water #forest #science #runoff #paper #precipitation #rainfall #runoff #soil #tree
