The candidate will need the following skills for successful conduct the proposed research: i) knowledge of the geomorphological coastal processes, ii) experienced in terrestrial or marine geophysical survey, iii) experienced with data processing and GIS analyses, iv) predisposition to actively participate to multi-tasking field survey campaigns in costal environment.

The team is composed by several researchers in the SSD GEO/04, two professors (Giuseppe Mastronuzzi and Giovanni Scicchitano), three researchers (Giovanni Scardino, Angela Rizzo and Antonella Marsico) and one PHd student (Teresa Denora). The team develops its researches within the activities of the Department of Earth and Environmental Science of the University of Bari and of the Interdepartmental Research Center for Coastal Dynamics of the University of Bari. It is specialized in: i) analyses of sea level rise during the Holocene through the use of morphological, sedimentological and archaeological data, ii) reconstruction of the impact of marine extreme event along coastal areas, iii) propagation modelling of marine extreme events, iv) reconstruction of multi-temporal flooding scenarios for coastal plain at 2050 and 2100, v) application of Machine and Deep Learning techniques for the assessment of hydrodynamic parameters from videos, vi) application of terrestrial and marine survey techniques in coastal environment. The group manages a laboratory equipped with several terrestrial (Laser Scanner, LIDAR, GPS RTK, Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle) and marine (Multi Beam Echo Sounder, Side Scan Sonar, Sub Bottom Profiler) survey instruments, and various work stations dedicated to processing, remote sensing and GIS analyses.
