Overview

Dino Torri is affiliated with the Research Institute for Geo-Hydrological Protection in Italy. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences, with specific attention to soil erosion and sediment transport, hydrology and sediment transport processes, and related subfields such as soil science, ecology, environmental engineering, plant science, and earth-surface processes.

Their work addresses topics including soil erosion and sediment transport, aeolian processes and effects, remote sensing and LiDAR applications, landslides and related hazards, as well as soil moisture and unsaturated flow. This multidisciplinary approach integrates elements of hydrology, soil science, and environmental engineering to analyze and model geomorphological and hydrological phenomena.

Frequent publication venues for Dino Torri include CATENA and Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, with additional contributions to Earth-Science Reviews and Global Ecology and Conservation. These journals reflect a focus on soil and geomorphological research at various scales.

Notable recent papers by Dino Torri encompass:

  • Measuring, modelling and managing gully erosion at large scales: A state of the art, 2021, Earth-Science Reviews
  • A comparative evaluation of random roughness indices by rainfall simulator and photogrammetry, 2020, CATENA
  • Topographic thresholds for gully head formation in badlands, 2022, Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
  • Infiltration and bulk density dynamics with simulated rainfall sequences, 2022, CATENA
  • Modelling seasonal variation of gully erosion at the catchment scale, 2021, Earth Surface Processes and Landforms

Regarding collaboration, Dino Torri has frequently co-authored work with Mauro Rossi, Sofie De Geeter, Jean Poesen, Alessandra Vinci, and F. Todisco, suggesting an active engagement with peers in related fields of soil erosion, hydrology, and landform studies.
