My invited presentation at the Lancaster Environmental Center Seminar Series - Lancaster University, titled "The new mission of geosciences in an age of pandemics and beyond", is available at the link below.

The talk was given remotely on June 10th, 2020. I would like to thank Lancaster University for inviting me. Lancaster University has made available the video of the talk on YouTube.

Thank you for your interest.
All the best,
Alberto

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) 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?".

Two companion scientific papers focusing on uncertainty assessment for hydrological models have been just published in Advances in Water Resources:

My presentation titled "Flood risk in historical cities (in Italian)" at the conference "Beni culturali ed ambientali a rischio" - Ravenna, November 20, 2019 - is available for download at the link below.

Thank you for your interest.

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.

My presentazion at the workshop "La scienza per la protezione civile" - Bologna 16 ottobre 2019 (in Italian) - is available for download at the link below.

The title is: floods and climate change:certainties (few), uncertainties (many) and adaptation.

Thank you for your interest.
Ciao,

My presentation at the Short Mediterranean Ph.D School on Impacts of Climate Change and Sustainable Engineering Responses (Naples, October 7-11, 2019) is available at the link below.

The title is "Climate change and floods".

Thank you for your interest.
Best,
Alberto

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.

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.
