Development of a global SDG progress index aimed at “leaving no one behind”
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract:] The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute a set of shared global objectives for the development over the coming years, which both developed and developing countries are working together ...
Benchmarking of Drought and Climate Indices for Agricultural Drought Monitoring in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] Site-specific studies are required to identify suitable drought indices (DIs) for assessing and predicting drought-related impacts. This study presents a benchmark of eight DIs and 19 large-scale climate indices ...
Revealing the spatio-temporal characteristics of drought in Mozambique and their relationship with large-scale climate variability
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract:] Study region: Mozambique. Study focus: Mozambique does not currently have the necessary tools for systematic monitoring and forecasting of drought at a subnational scale. The purpose of this study was to ...
A robust method to update local river inundation maps using global climate model output and weather typing based statistical downscaling
(Springer, 2020)
[Abstract:] Global warming is changing the magnitude and frequency of extreme precipitation events. This requires updating local rainfall intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves and flood hazard maps according to the ...
Assessment of the performance of drought indices for explaining crop yield variability at the national scale: Methodological framework and application to Mozambique
(Elsevier, 2020)
[Abstract:] Droughts are one of the most damaging and complex natural disasters in the world, and they frequently affect agricultural production. Drought monitoring is essential for decision-makers seeking to minimize the ...
A rapid flood inundation model for hazard mapping based on least squares support vector machine regression
(Wiley, 2019)
[Abstract:] Two-dimensional shallow water models are widely used tools for flood inundation mapping. However, even if High Performance Computing techniques have greatly decreased the computational time needed to run a 2D ...
Conversion of Vertical Slot Fishways to Deep Slot Fishways to Maintain Operation during Low Flows: Implications for Hydrodynamics
(MDPI, 2018)
[Abstract:] Deep slot fishways (DSF) are similar to vertical slot fishways (VSF) except that a sill has been placed at the base of the slot, and thus require a lower discharge to operate. The conversion of a VSF to a DSF, ...
Quantifying local rainfall dynamics and uncertain boundary conditions into a nested regional-local flood modeling system
(Wiley, 2017)
[Abstract:] Inflow discharge and outflow stage estimates for hydraulic flood models are generally derived from river gauge data. Uncertainties in the measured inflow data and the neglect of rainfall-runoff contributions ...
IberWQ: new simulation tool for 2D water quality modelling in rivers and shallow estuaries
(IWA Publishing, 2016)
[Abstract:] This paper presents a new freeware simulation tool (IberWQ) for 2D water quality modelling in rivers and non-stratified estuaries. The model computes the spatial and temporal evolution of several species and ...
Two-Dimensional Dam-Break Flood Analysis in Data-Scarce Regions: The Case Study of Chipembe Dam, Mozambique
(MDPI AG, 2017)
[Abstract:] This paper presents the results of a modeling study of the hypothetical dam break of Chipembe dam in Mozambique. The modeling approach is based on the software Iber, a freely available dam break and two-dimensional ...
