Hapoy New #Hydrological year! Here the Arno #River in Florence, this morning.

Daniele Penna @danielepenna.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

A new #project has started! Manual #soil #moisture measurements to validate #cosmic #ray data in a #mountain #forested area. Who wants some thorns in their hands and legs? Just come to the #field with us! @quercusilex92

Just back from a beautiful ERB conference on small #catchments in Baja, Hungary. Good #scientific #discussions, nice people, great place and wonderful weather. And, after 4 years, I've completed my role of International Coordinator! @quercusilex92

It was nice to host Gabriele Chiogna in #Florence for a week full of #hydrological discussions, #field visits to our #experimental #catchments, wavelets ... and fun! @quercusilex92, @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social cnr-eco-hydrology-lab.org/sinczone-obs..., danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra

Three days in the #field with #students: in a #vineyard with those from #Agricultural #sciences, and two days in our #forested #catchments with those from #Forestry Sciences. I'm exhausted but happy, grateful, and proud! @quercusilex92 danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra

I love my #research #group on #catchment #hydrology and #ecohydrology @unifi.bsky.social! These people provide a diverse, stimulating, and fun working environment that everyone enjoys. Although dedicating appropriate time to everybody is quite challenging... danielepenna.wixsite.com/redellapietra

#Research group meetings are privileged moments where everybody speaks, everybody listens, ideas and suggestions come up, and common planning is made. And, mostly, they are fun! I love and I'm proud of this group! @quercusilex92.bsky.social

Today, ten years ago, at 41, I started my position @ the University of Florence (pictures from 2016). What did I not accomplish in this decade? I had #papers and #proposals rejected; I did not receive funding to build a lab and to buy an #isotope laser spectroscope (see thread for the rest).

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.

Daniele Penna @danielepenna.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

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...
