Assessing the Effects of Climate Change on Compound Flooding in Coastal River Areas
(AGU Journals, 2021)
[Abstract] Flood assessment in coastal river areas is subject to complex dependencies and interactions between flood drivers. In addition, coastal areas are especially vulnerable to climate change, and thus its effects ...
Public Health Considerations for PM₁₀ in a High-Pollution Megacity: Influences of Atmospheric Condition and Land Coverage
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] This paper analyzes the PM₁₀ concentrations and influences of atmospheric condition (AC) and land coverage (LC) on a high-pollution megacity (Bogota, Colombia) from a public health viewpoint. Information of ...
Modelling Weirs in Two-Dimensional Shallow Water Models
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] 2D models based on the shallow water equations are widely used in river hydraulics. However, these models can present deficiencies in those cases in which their intrinsic hypotheses are not fulfilled. One of ...
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 ...
Editorial—Physical Modelling in Hydraulics Engineering
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] Note: In lieu of an abstract, this is an excerpt from the first page: Laboratory experiments and field works play a crucial role in hydraulic research, development, and design as many hydraulic processes elude ...
Machine Learning Based Moored Ship Movement Prediction
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] Several port authorities are involved in the R+D+i projects for developing port management decision-making tools. We recorded the movements of 46 ships in the Outer Port of Punta Langosteira (A Coruña, Spain) ...
Analysis of Particulate Matter Concentration Intercepted by Trees of a Latin-American Megacity
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] Urban areas with trees provide several ecosystem services to citizens. There is a growing interest in ecosystem services for the removal of air pollutants such as particulate matter. The objective of this paper ...
MERLIN: una nueva herramienta para la predicción del riesgo de inundaciones en la demarcación hidrográfica Galicia-Costa
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021)
[Resumen] Este artículo presenta MERLIN, una nueva herramienta para estimar el riesgo de inundaciones a partir de predicciones de caudales y calados en Áreas de Riesgo Potencial Significativo de Inundaciones (ARPSIS) de ...
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems in Spain: A Diagnosis
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) were almost unknown in Spain two decades ago; today, urban drainage in the country is transitioning towards a more sustainable and regenerative management in a global ...
Assessing Different Imaging Velocimetry Techniques to Measure Shallow Runoff Velocities During Rain Events Using an Urban Drainage Physical Model
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)
[Abstract] Although surface velocities are key in the calibration of physically based urban drainage models, the shallow water depths developed during non-extreme precipitation and the potential risks during flood events ...
