Editorial: flood susceptibility and risk maps as a crucial tool to face the hydrological extremes in developing countries: technical and governance aspects linked by a participatory approach
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
[Abstract:] In summary, this Research Topic wants to draw attention to two points of reflection: 1) The need to involve stakeholders at all levels in the planning of actions aimed at reducing the risks associated with ...
Análisis y evaluación de las alternativas de protección de las aguas subterráneas durante las operaciones de extracción de los residuos (alquitranes ácidos) en una laguna de Arganda del Rey (Madrid)
(Instituto Geológico y Minero de España, 2021)
[Resumen:] La Comunidad de Madrid está llevando a cabo la restauración integral de una antigua gravera contaminada con residuos peligrosos, mayoritariamente sulfonatos de petróleo (alquitranes ácidos), procedentes del ...
An Augmented Reality Facility to Run Hybrid Physical-Numerical Flood Models
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] This article presents a novel installation for the development of hybrid physical-numerical flood models in an augmented reality environment. This installation extends the concept introduced by the well-known ...
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 ...
How Do Modeling Choices and Erosion Zone Locations Impact the Representation of Connectivity and the Dynamics of Suspended Sediments in a Multi-Source Soil Erosion Model?
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)
[Abstract] Soil erosion and suspended sediment transport understanding is an important issue in terms of soil and water resources management in the critical zone. In mesoscale watersheds (>10 km2) the spatial distribution ...
Size Effect and Other Effects on Mode I Fracture Toughness Using Two Testing Methods
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] Mode I fracture toughness (KIC) is an intrinsic material property that quantifies its resistance to tensile fracture propagation. The International Society for Rock Mechanics has endorsed four methods to determine ...
MERLIN: a flood hazard forecasting system for coastal river reaches
(Springer, 2020)
[Abstract:] This study presents MERLIN, an innovative flood hazard forecasting system for predicting discharges and water levels at flood prone areas of coastal catchments. Discharge forecasts are preceded by a hindcast ...
Effect of rainfall uncertainty on the performance of physically based rainfall–runoff models
(Wiley, 2019)
[Abstract:] This paper analyses the effect of rain data uncertainty on the performance of two hydrological models with different spatial structures: a semidistributed and a fully distributed model. The study is performed ...
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 ...
Global and local sensitivity analysis to improve the understanding of physically-based urban wash-off models from high-resolution laboratory experiments
(Elsevier, 2019)
[Abstract:] Physically-based urban wash-off models are a promising means of studying the transport of finer suspended solids and their associated pollutants during rain events, considering spatial and temporal heterogeneities. ...
