GFI 2.0
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 introducing an iterative correction guided by the Horton–Strahler stream hierarchy, GFI 2.0 improves the physical ...
HydroLAB – Bibliometric Analysis
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), and the United States 🇺🇸 (395) lead the way, but contributions span from South America ...
Research, training, and knowledge exchange between Italy and Africa through the S.H.A.R.E. Africa project
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 that brought together 25 academics from North Africa for an intensive course on hydrological monitoring, ...
Exploring the Transferability of Image-Based Algorithms for River Plastic Detection
Abstract Using large image data sets has been the conventional strategy to improve object detection, but it increases annotation effort and training cost and does not guarantee robust transfer to new sites. Here we quantify the value of a small, diverse training set for floating macroplastic detection by jointly evaluating ...
