Marco Chericoni is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the ESYDA division at CMCC.
He holds a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, a 2nd Level Specializing Master in Climate Change, and a PhD in Sustainable Development and Climate Change.

His research explores climate change impacts in the Mediterranean region, with particular focus on air–sea interactions, moisture transport, and their roles in cyclone dynamics and precipitation changes. He has also investigated hail hazards in Europe using convection-permitting climate simulations and machine learning techniques in collaboration with ETH Zurich. He contributed to regional coupled ocean–atmosphere simulations for the Med-CORDEX project.

He is currently working on the development of a regional Earth system model for the Mediterranean basin to better understand its hydrological cycle within the EU-funded RIVIERADE project.
