Enrica Viparelli
Assistant Professor
Dr. Viparelli’s research area
is water resources engineering. Her major interests are primarily related to the
development of large-scale models of river morphodynamics that can be used for river
and coastal restoration, and to study sediment transport, erosion and deposition
at laboratory and field scales. Specific research topics includes 1) transport,
deposition and erosion of non-uniform sediment in fluvial, deltaic and submarine
environments, 2) transport and the overbank deposition of very fine sediment in
rivers, and 3) the effects that changes in land use and climate may have on rivers
and floodplains.
