Overview

Massimo Rinaldi is affiliated with the University of Florence in Italy and has contributed extensively to environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences. Their research spans several subfields including ecology, soil science, water science and technology, global and planetary change, and atmospheric science.

The primary focus of Rinaldi's work includes hydrology and sediment transport processes, soil erosion and sediment transport, hydrology and watershed management studies, flood risk assessment and management, tree-ring climate responses, fish ecology and management studies, as well as small and medium enterprise (SME) development and digital marketing.

Recent publications authored or coauthored by Rinaldi demonstrate their active role in advancing knowledge within these areas. Notable papers include:

  • "Changes in meander geometry over the last 250 years along the lower Guadalquivir River (southern Spain) in response to hydrological and human factors," 2022, Geomorphology
  • "Channel changes over the last 200 years: A meta data analysis on European rivers," 2024, Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
  • "Hydrological and geomorphic effects upstream of the Cantillana Dam along the Guadalquivir River (southern Spain)," 2021, Geomorphology
  • "Environmental drivers of dynamic soil erosion change in a Mediterranean fluvial landscape," 2022, PLoS ONE
  • "Strategi Rebranding Label Kemasan Produk untuk Meningkatkan Brand Awareness Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) Warung Makan Mbok Sih di Desa Jatirejo," 2024, Jurnal Pelayanan Hubungan Masyarakat

Rinaldi has collaborated with several frequent coauthors, including Vittoria Scorpio, Francesco Comiti, Frédéric Liébault, Hervé Piégay, and Nicola Surian. These partnerships have contributed to multidisciplinary approaches in hydrology, geomorphology, and watershed management.

Rinaldi publishes regularly in various scientific venues. Their most frequent publication outlets are:

  • Geomorphology
  • Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
  • PLoS ONE
  • Jurnal Pelayanan Hubungan Masyarakat

Their academic contributions cover key environmental topics such as hydrological and sediment transport processes and soil erosion, indicating a focus on understanding and managing land and water resources within changing environmental contexts.
