My presentation at the conference EGU2020 Online: Blue Cat, A brisk local uncertainty estimator for hydrologic simulations and predictions
My presentation at the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union titled: A brisk local uncertainty estimator for hydrologic simulations and predictions (Blue Cat) is available for download at the link below.
I would like to thank Demetris for conceiving an amazing idea. It is a simple and computationally efficient tool to estimate the probability distribution of hydrological predictions (and therefore assess their uncertainty) which works really well.
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?".
