Author Information

Stefano Fantoni is an Italian theoretical physicist, currently retired from the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste (SISSA), but still working in the fields of nuclear physics, low temperature physics and complex systems. He is the associate professor of Nuclear Physics at the University of Pisa, and has previously been a full professor of both Nuclear Physics at the University of Lecce (1986–1990) and Nuclear Forces at SISSA (1991–2011). He was the director of the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of SISSA (1991–2000) and then subsequently the Director of SISSA (2004–2011). He was the recipient of the 2007 Eugene Feenberg Memorial Medal, the 2001 UNESCO Kalinga Prize, the 2002 Piazzano prize, the 2006 Pirelli International prize, the 2007 Capo d’Orlando, the 2008 Silver Rose Prize and the 2010 Barcola Prize from the city of Trieste. Nicola Casagli is a professor of Engineering Geology at the University of Florence, Department of Earth Sciences. Heis the president of the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics and of the Civil Protection Centre of University of Florence, as well as of the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL). He is an expert on geological hazards and ground instability, monitoring technology, remote sensing, engineering geological characterization and modeling. He is a member of the Major Risks National Committee of the Department of Civil Protection of the Italian Government and of the World Centre of Excellence on Landslide Risk Reduction of the International Programme on Landslides. He is the founder and deputy chairholder of the UNESCO Chair on Prevention and Sustainable Mitigation of Geo-hydrological Hazards. He is an adjunct professor of the UNESCO Chair on Geoenvironmental Disaster Reduction at Shimane University (Japan). Marina Cobal is vice-president of the FIT, a current full professor of Physics at the University of Udine, and INFN coordinator of the Gruppo Collegato di Udine. She previously held research positions at the CERN laboratory in Geneva (CH) as a fellow and staff (1995–2001) and at the Fermilab Laboratory in Chicago, (USA) (1994). She is an experimental physicist whose research activity has been carried out mainly in the field of particle physics, more specifically, in fundamental research into sub-nuclear physics conducted with the use of accelerators. She has been part of the CDF and—later on—of the ATLAS and FCC Collaborations, having authored more than 1250 papers, with an h-index of 126 (Scopus, June 2022). Cosimo Solidoro is an oceanographer and marine ecologist,  currently director of the Oceanography department of the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics, and professor of Ocean models and data analytics at the University of Trieste. He also serves as the President of the European section of the International Society of Ecological Modelling, the Italian representative of the IMBER (Integration of Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecological Research) program, and is a member of the executive board of the European Consortium Euromarine and of the European Marine Board. His research activities focus mainly on coastal areas, lagoons, and open sea ecosystems, ranging from the impacts of climate change, anthropogenic forcings and natural phenomena on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, to sustainability, complex systems theory, and integrated ecological-socio-economic systems. Prigogine junior medal 2006 and co-recipient Denny medals in 2018
