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.

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

Thank you for your interest.

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.

I had the great honor to be awarded the Dooge Medal by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and UNESCO. The award ceremony took place in Montreal, during the 2019 IUGG General Assembly, on July 12, 2019.

The scientific paper "Twenty-three unsolved problems in hydrology (UPH) – a community perspective" is available here.
The paper is open access and therefore it can be freely downloaded. It presents a community effort to identify research questions for the hydrological community. They have been identified with a community endeavor. Of course these questions are far from being exhaustive, but they provide a very good picture of current emerging issues.
