Jerome El Jeitany

Jerome el Jeitany is a researcher in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Florence and the Technical University of Braunschweig. His work focuses on advancing landscape approaches to water-land-ecosystem management, bridging hydrological modeling with spatial and ecological perspectives. By integrating tools such as SWAT, machine learning, and landscape metrics, he explores how land-use patterns and transitions influence water-related ecosystem services. Jerome emphasizes the role of landscape planning and multidisciplinarity in addressing watershed and ecosystem challenges, aiming to develop methods that connect scientific insight with practical management. His research applies these approaches to the Arno River Basin and the Mediterranean context, with a particular interest in the marine WEFE nexus and how landscape-based thinking can inform sustainable policy and planning.
