  • Potential One Health risk of downwind exposure to airborne pathogens from thawing Siberian permafrost

    Open AccessDavide Martinetti, Davide Stucchi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2026

    Permafrost degradation in Arctic and Subarctic regions, accelerating due to rapid climate change, exposes vast extents of ice- and organic matter-rich soils directly to the atmosphere. This ancient permafrost is known to harbor metabolically active microbes, including potentially harmful pathogens that have survived for thousands of years under extreme environmental conditions. The release and subsequent long-range dispersal of these organisms vi…

  • A coupled Lagrangian-Eulerian model for microplastics as vectors of contaminants applied to the Mediterranean Sea

    Open AccessFederica Guerrini, Lorenzo Mari et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    The pervasiveness of microplastics in global oceans is raising concern about their impacts on organisms. While quantifying their toxicity is still an open issue, sampling evidence has shown that rarely are marine microplastics found clean; rather, they are often contaminated by other types of chemical pollutants, some known to be harmful to biota and humans. To provide a first tool for assessing the role of microplastics as vectors of plastic-rel…

  • Spread and dynamics of the Covid-19 epidemic in Italy

    Open AccessMarino Gatto, Enrico Bertuzzo et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2020

    Significance The ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 challenges globalized societies. Scientific and technological cross-fertilization yields broad availability of georeferenced epidemiological data and of modeling tools that aid decisions on emergency management. To this end, spatially explicit models of the COVID-19 epidemic that include e.g. regional individual mobilities, the progression of social distancing, and local capacity of medical infrastruc…

  • A Theoretical Approach to Tourism Sustainability

    Open AccessRenato Casagrandi, Sergio RinaldiARTICLEConservation Ecology2002

    This paper shows that it is difficult, if not impossible, to formulate policies that guarantee that tourism can be maintained for a long time without severely impacting on the environment. The analysis is purely theoretical and is based on very simple and general assumptions about the interactions between the three main components of the system: the tourists, the environment, and the capital. These assumptions are encapsulated in a so-called mini…
