In recent years, the acquisition of data from multiple sources, together with improvements in computational capabilities, has allowed to improve our understanding on natural hazard through new approaches based on machine learning and Big Data analytics. This has given new Continue Reading …
GFA – tool is an open-source QGIS plug-in to realize a fast and cost-effective delineation of the floodplains in the contexts where the available data is scarce to carry out hydrological/hydraulic analyses. The delineation of flood hazard and flood risk Continue Reading …
The last decades have seen a massive advance in technologies for Earth Observation (EO) and environmental monitoring, which provided scientists and engineers with valuable spatial information for studying hydrologic processes. At the same time, the power of computers and newly Continue Reading …
TEMA 2: IDROLOGIA DI LARGA SCALA – BIG DATA IN HYDROLOGY Il tema del Big Data offre nuove opportunità per l’avanzamento delle conoscenze data la crescente disponibilità di dati satellitari e osservazioni diffuse provenienti da varie fonti. La ricerca che Continue Reading …

Knowing the location and the extent of areas exposed to floods is the most basic information needed for planning flood management strategies. Unfortunately, a complete identification of these areas is still lacking in many countries. Recent studies have highlighted that Continue Reading …
Delineation of flood hazard and flood risk areas is a critical issue, but practical difficulties regularly make complete achievement of the task a challenge. In data-scarce environments (e.g. ungauged basins, large-scale analyses), useful information about flood hazard exposure can be Continue Reading …
Efficient strategies for preparing communities to protect against,respond to, recover from, and mitigateflood hazard are oftenhampered by the lack of information about the position and extentofflood-prone areas. Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses allow toobtain detailedflood hazard maps, but are a computationallyintensive Continue Reading …
Knowing the location and the extent of the areas exposed to flood hazards is essential to any strategy for minimizing the risk. Unfortunately, in ungauged basins the use of traditional floodplain mapping techniques is prevented by the lack of the Continue Reading …
Accurate flood mapping is important for both planning activities during emergencies and as a support for the successive assessment of damaged areas. A valuable information source for such a procedure can be remote sensing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. However, Continue Reading …
