Lecture notes for Climate Change Adaptation (Floods and Water Resources in a Changing Climate) 2024

Climate Change Adaptation (Floods and Water Resources in a Changing Climate for student of physics) is concentrating on strategies and actions to mitigate the impact of climate change on society, with a particular focus on water. The course will be taught with 48 hours of frontal teaching, including lectures given by the teacher and exercises developed by collaborative work by students and the teacher. The purpose of the course is to provide an overview of modern techniques for designing climate resilient environmental systems in the presence of human impact.

My live interview (in Italian) at the TRC TV on megaflood predictability

On November 27 I have been live interviewed by the TV channel TRC. The discussion focused on predictability of megafloods, after the publication of the Nature Geoscience paper  "Megafloods in Europe can be anticipated from observations in hydrologically similar catchments", authored by Miriam Bertola with a large pool of co-authors.

The interview can be watched here. The video has been kindly provided by TRC Bologna.

Thank you for your interest.
Ciao,
Alberto

The River Memory Experiment

The River Memory experiment is a new form of cooperative research, according to the philosophy and scope of the Switch-On FP7 Research Project, funded by the European Commission. The aim of the experiment is to promote cooperation among researchers to analyse the dynamics of river flows across a range of catchment scales.
