My presentation at the workshop "Management of environmental processes" titled "Floods and climate change" (in Italian)
My presentation at the workshop "Management of environmental processes" titled "Floods and climate change" (in Italian) is available at the link below.
The workshop took place in Naples on February 25th, 2020. The Italian title of the workshop was: "La gestione dei fenomeni naturali: visioni complementari per il territorio. Il contributo della Geologia Applicata e dell’Idraulica" while the Italian title of my presentation was: "Alluvioni: tutta colpa dei cambiamenti climatici?".

Scientific paper: Probabilistic Hydrological Post-Processing
The scientific paper: Probabilistic Hydrological Post-Processing at Scale: Why and How to Apply Machine-Learning Quantile Regression Algorithms, published on Water, is available open access at the link below.
The study focuses on the use of machine-learning quantile regression algorithms for probabilistic hydrological post-processing in order to derive uncertainty of hydrological simulations.

Scientific paper: "Global-scale human pressure evolution imprints on sustainability of river systems"
The scientific paper "Global-scale human pressure evolution imprints on sustainability of river systems" has been just published by Hydrology and Earth System Sciences.
It is an open access paper proposing an innovative methodology for large scale assessment of human impact on water resources.
Thank you for your attention.

Scientific paper published on Nature: "Changing climate both increases and decreases European river floods"
I had the opportunity to participate, together with Attilio Castellarin and several other researchers, to a study conducted by a team at the Technical University of Wien on trends of floods frequency in Europe.
Data from numerous measurement stations all across Europe have been evaluated. The data shows that magnitude of flood events is changing with different patterns in different regions.
