The identification of the second-order dependence structure of streamflow has been one of the oldest challenges in hydrological sciences, dating back to the pioneering work of H.E Hurst on the Nile River. Since then, several…
I’m proud to announce that our recent paper “Current Practices in UAS-based Environmental Monitoring” has been awarded with the Best Paper Award 2022 by Remote Sensing MDPI. This paper has been the result of a joint…
DICEA of University Federico II is promoting the 3rd edition of the Mediterranean PhD Short School on “From sustainable to regenerative and resilient design”, which is scheduled from 10th to 15th of October 2022 in…
We are looking for very motivated and talented candidates for a Ph.D. scholarship on “Monitoring of water quality of natural rivers exploiting image processing techniques” (CU1.14) at Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II within…
The e-book of the book “Appunti di Idrologia Superficiale” published by Editrice Aracne is now available online. SUMMARY: The text offers insights and insights into surface hydrological processes and with particular reference to the water-soil interaction,…
We had the great pleasure to meet, during our COST Action – HARMONIOUS General Assembly in Debrecen, the StoolTechnologies that has developed a new UAS with a payload of about 70kg and a fly autonomy of 1 hour. The new…
This set of three documents represents a blueprint of an Operations Manual for UAS operations (OM) in Environmental Studies targeting environmental studies, accompanied by an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) and an example of UAS operation description and risk assessment…
Soil moisture (SM) is a connective hydrological variable between the Earth’s surface and atmosphere and affects various climatological processes. Surface soil moisture (SSM) is a key component for addressing energy and water exchanges and can…
AD2 model is a Java-based software application for hydrological simulation at the catchment scale, developed at the University of Basilicata (Potenza, Italy). It implements the conceptual rainfall-runoff model originally proposed by Fiorentino & Manfreda (2004), extended…
Measuring object displacement and deformation in image sequences is an important task in remote sensing, photogrammetry and computer vision and a vast number of approaches have been introduced. In the field of environmental sciences, applications…

In recent years, extreme rainfall events are increasing both in number and intensity, but it is hard to identify specific trends and dynamics at regional level due to the strong variability of this process in…
Considering this year’s meeting situation, the organizing team has decided it is necessary to post-pone the event by one year to ensure for all participants a successful, safe on-site meeting and good travel conditions. The…
Extreme rainfall events are increasing in both number and intensity at global scale; however, it is hard to quantify the impact of climate change at local scale given the strong temporal and spatial heterogeneity of…
The inherent biases of different long-term gridded surface soil moisture (SSM) products, unconstrained by the in situ observations, implies different spatio-temporal patterns. In this study, the Random Forest (RF) model was trained to predict SSM…
