Another paper from a #multi-approach experiment in the Re della Pietra #experimental #catchment: "Trees control hillslope subsurface flow" by Simone di Prima et al: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social @quercusilex92.bsky.social danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra

Trees use predominantly summer water in the Ressi #experimental #catchment. Thank you to Giulia Zuecco for leading this work! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... During the growing season, soil and plant water had a dominant summer origin but seasonality had a major role on their temporal origin.

Congrats to Matteo Verdone for his second PhD paper from the Re della Pietra #experimental #catchment: OA here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Thank you @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social @quercusilex92.bsky.social Ilja van Meerveld and Claudia Cocozza. danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra

visiting a #wetland with #students and talking about #water, #hydrology, #groundwater #ecosystems #birds

I'm super excited to share that I've been elected as the #EGU representative for #ECS for the term 2027-2028 🌍. A sincere thank you to everyone in the EGU community who voted, and a special thanks to @danielepenna.bsky.social for his support. I can't wait to start this amazing journey together!

Today at Villa Panna, Tuscany to present our #hydrological #monitoring in an artificial #wetland funded by a bottled #water company to local authorities, citizens, and the press.

Great #talk and #discussion at the Italian #catchment #hydrology day 2025 at the University of Florence! Special guests : Guenter Bloeschl and Laurent Pfister! Thank you @quercusilex92.bsky.social and all the others of our team for the fantastic organization!

Honoured and happy to visit the Re della Pietra #experimental #catchment with Laurent Pfister from LIST Luxembourg today. Discussions in the #field always stimulate new #ideas. www.danielepenna.wixsite.com #hydrology #water #forest #science #runoff #paper #precipitation #rainfall #runoff #soil #tree

Fall is magical wherever there are #deciduous #trees, even in #urban settings. On the left, my neighbourhood in Padua and, on the right, the Cascine Park in Florence. #ecohydrology #plant #physiology #hydrology

Do #trees in different #hillslope positions use different #water #sources in a pre-Alpine #catchment? And is water #uptake mostly related to #summer or #winter #precipitation in this #humid #environment? Find out more in this study led by Giulia Zuecco at Ressi. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

On Friday, I will present our work on #CoCreation of #WaterKnowledge at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, one of the historically #BlackUniversities of the US. Thanks to Dr. Hubert Hirwa for the invitation. doi.org/10.1080/0262... @hsj-iahs.bsky.social @iahs-aish.bsky.social

Thank you Maren Dubbert and Miriam Coenders for visiting the Re della Pietra #experimental #catchment, sharing ideas, and shaping future collaboration! danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra

Congratulations to, and very proud of, Matteo Verdone who successfully (with laude!) #defended his #PhD today on #ecohydrological dynamics in #forested #catchments at @UNI_FIRENZE. Thanks a lot to the other supervisors @iljavan meerveld and @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social for their fundamental support!

This comprehensive review was a massive collaborative effort initiated by the EU-COST Action WATSON. More info here: watson-cost.eu Some coauthors on bluesky @harshberia.bsky.social, @theoryofciaran.bsky.social, @danielepenna.bsky.social, @jlaknapp.bsky.social, @h2obabyts.bsky.social

It's always fun and instructive to be in the #field with #students. We were in an #experimental #vineyard in Tuscany and took #soil #moisture and #infiltration #measurements, and did quick soil #texture analysis. @PBenettin @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social

After talking about #water - #tree #interactions at @egu.eu 2025 it was nice to see some tree - #soil and tree-tree interactions in the real word. #ecohydrology #plants #forest #isotopes #ecohydrological #processes

I love Vienna's cycling paths... and I love @egu.eu !

Great #workshop organized by Gianluca Botter and Nicola Durighetto @unipd.bsky.social in Padua on #stream network dynamics. And now let's enjoy @egu.eu !

Great day in the Re della Pietra #catchment under no-stop #rain to collect #stream #samples for #isotope, #pH, #alcalinity, #electricalconductivity, and #turbidity, make #discharge measurements ... and to see #hydrological #processes live. Really inspiring for the young researchers and fun!

As a #hydrologist, I love #water... but sometimes #wine is better! @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social : don't you agree?

I'm happy to welcome Simone Gelsinari in our #research group at the University of Florence! Simone starts his position as Marie Slodowska Curie MSCA #researcher today, working on #groundwater #recharge and #evapotranspiration in #Mediterranean #catchments

Today we were in the Re della Pietra #catchment danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra. We installed a new #weather station and showed the site to some private #stakeholders. And this little paper came out right today. rdcu.be/efM8w Congrats @mcmillanhydro.bsky.social and coauthors!

Teaching classical #hydrological concepts and approaches never hurts!

Today, nine years ago, I started my position in Florence and gave my first class as professor. It looks yesterday and a century ago at the same time... #academiclife #academics #teaching #research

Super nice #project meeting in Perugia, Italy, and great discussions with Josie Geris, @quercusilex92.bsky.social and @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social on #stream #water #temperature and #groundwater inflow in #mountain #catchments

Thank you to Barbara Stenni, Mauro Masiol and Enrico Bertuzzo for hosting me at the University of Venice and for the fruitful discussions and future planning on #isotopes in #trees and #grapevines and CO2 dynamics and #stream and #catchment #respiration. #hydrology #ecohydrology

This is how my wife reads #papers & takes notes. She is not in research but reads a lot to keep updated & offer more solid diagnoses to her #patients. I should remind my #students (and perhaps also myself) to consider #catchments as our patients: reading can help us to take "better care" of them!

Working in forest/vegetation-related water science? Please consider submitting your abstract to our session on "Forest Water Dynamics across Spatial and Temporal Scales": meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... Solicited speaker: Noemi Vergopolan (Rice University) @danielepenna.bsky.social
