Pier Paolo Franzese
Prof. Dr. Pier Paolo Franzese
Scientific area: Ecology and sustainable development.
Pier Paolo Franzese is Professor of Ecology at the Department of Science and Technology of Parthenope University of Naples, Italy.
After graduating with honours in Environmental Sciences, he achieved the international title of Ph.D. in “Crop Systems, Forestry, and Environmental Science” with label of Doctor Europaeus.
Over the last fifteen years his research and teaching activities have been focused on the development of an ecosystem approach for studying human-nature interactions. Always striving for the application of a system-based and interdisciplinary approach to science, his main research interest is focused on environmental assessment and accounting to study natural and human-dominated ecosystems.
Prof. Franzese is Coordinator of the International Ph.D. Programme “Environment, Resources and Sustainable Development” hosted at Parthenope University of Naples where he also founded and directs the Laboratory of Ecodynamics and Sustainable Development. He is President of the International Society for the Advancement of Emergy Research (ISAER) and Coordinator of national working groups on "Natural Capital, Ecosystem Services, and Environmental Accounting".
Bibliometric indices (Scopus): Documents 47, Citations 1114, h-index 21.
