- Luigi Tosi is a research director at the CNR-IGG. His research focuses on the applied and environmental geology of coastal systems and deals with the processes of land subsidence, relative sea-level rise, continental and marine groundwater exchange, and saltwater intrusion. This includes assessing the vulnerability and resilience of low-lying coastal systems to human activities and global change to plan adaptation and mitigation measures. He is an elected member representing Italy in the UNESCO-IHP “Land Subsidence International Initiative – LaSII.

https://scholar.google.it/citations?user=-zzi6HcAAAAJ&hl=it - Pietro Teatini is associate professor in Hydrology and Hydraulic Engineering at UNIPD-ICEA. His research interests include modelling flow in confined/phreatic aquifer systems and geomechanical processes related to fluid withdrawal/injection from/into the subsurface. Understanding, quantifying, and modelling processes shaping depositional landforms in coastal areas are other topics addressed by his research. Within this framework, he has conducted studies focused on peat oxidation and natural consolidation in deltas and wetlands by integrating measurements of vertical land movements with deformation at depth to characterize the geomechanical properties of Holocene deposits and calibrate numerical models using direct, data-assimilation, and data-mining approaches. He is chair of the UNESCO-IHP “Land Subsidence International Initiative – LaSII.
