On 25 September 2026 Prof. Salvatore Manfreda gives the NUIST–IMSA Hydrology Webinar on how drones, satellites, cameras and AI are changing river monitoring and flood assessment. On campus in Nanjing and online on Microsoft Teams.
Angelo Avino (HydroLAB, University of Naples Federico II) wins the GII “Fabio Rossi” Prize for the best PhD thesis in Hydrology and Soil Protection, awarded at IDRA 2026.
The Share Africa MOOC “Innovative Technologies for Sustainable Water Management”, developed with Federica Web Learning (University of Naples Federico II), is now online: non-contact monitoring, remote sensing and data-driven approaches for water resources.
Applications are now open for our 5-day short course “Remote Sensing for Hydrogeomorphic Modeling: From Techniques to Applications”, part of the 2027 IAHS Academy and promoted by the IAHS MOXXI Working Group. The course will…
Mapping Soil Moisture from Satellites to Centimetres: A Two-Step Random Forest Downscaling Framework
How do you see soil moisture at the scale of a single field when your data comes from space? Satellite and land-surface-model products map surface soil moisture across whole regions, but only at kilometre-scale resolution…
🏆 We are proud to share that Prof. Salvatore Manfreda has been awarded the Tunisia Water Award – Ibn Shabbat Award 2026, presented during the Sustain Tunis 2026 International Conference on Water & Ecosystem Resilience (Tunis, 2–4 June 2026). The…

GFI 2.0 is an enhanced version of the Geomorphic Flood Index designed to overcome one of the main limitations of DEM-based flood mapping: the inability of purely geomorphic methods to reproduce confluence-controlled backwater effects. By…
We conducted a bibliometric analysis of our the publications citing our work. From 90 countries across 6 continents, the scientific community is actively mentioning the works conducted at HydoLAB. China 🇨🇳 (495), Italy 🇮🇹 (470),…
We are delighted that Ateneapoli has dedicated an in-depth feature to S.H.A.R.E. Africa and, in particular, to the course on innovative technologies for sustainable water resource management, coordinated by Prof. Salvatore Manfreda. A training experience…
