Summary Marco Moriondo is a senior researcher at the Institute of Bioeconomy of the National Research Council. He holds a PhD in Agro-meteorology and a Master’s degree in Applied Meteorology. The main research field of Dr Moriondo is focused on modelling the effect of climate change on agricultural and natural ecosystems. In this field, he has been involved in several international, national and regional projects in which he mainly studied the impacts of climate change on agricultural crops and forestry ecosystems. In this context, Dr Moriondo coordinated the international OLIVEMIRACLE project (FACCE Surplus call, 2016-2019) and the regional RUM+ project and acted as a unit leader in the LIFE project ADAPT2CLIMA. In the field of forestry, he has participated in the development of modelling approaches aimed at assessing the possible impacts of climate change on forest productivity and decomposition of organic carbon and has developed methodologies for the estimation of agronomic and forest productivity through the use of remotely sensed data. In the field of crop and forestry modelling, has taken part in the scientific committees of congresses such as the ADAPT2CLIMA Conference (Crete, 2019), European Society of Agronomy Congress (Sevilla, 2020) and Phenology (Avignon, 2022) and has been invited as keynote speaker in Meeting CLIM4VITIS DAYS (Florence, 2019) and European Society of Agronomy Congress (Sevilla, 2020). He is the author of more than 100 scientific papers published in ISI journals yielding more than 4K citations with an H Index of 33 (WOS) and 36 (Scopus). His scientific work on climate change over the last 20 years has earned him recognition by the Reuters news agency as one of the world's 1000 most influential scientists on global warming issues Education 2003 Master in Applied Meteorology at the University of Florence 2001 PhD in Agro-meteorology Obtained at the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Sassari 1995 Degree in Agricultural Sciences at the University of Florence, Faculty of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences, Research projects Marco Moriondo participated (as responsible, coordinator and collaborator) to several research projects in the frame of Italian and European programs in collaboration with Italian and international institutions. •WATERSTEM.
