Giornate dell’Idrologia SII 2019
La sottomissione degli Abstracts per le Giornate dell’Idrologia della SII 2019 è stata posticipata al 27 luglio. La Società Idrologica Italiana (SII) festeggia questo anno i suoi 10 anni dalla…
A web application for hydrogeomorphic flood hazard mapping
A detailed delineation of flood-prone areas over large regions represents a challenge that cannot be easily solved with today’s resources. The main limitations lie in algorithms and hardware, but also…
Assessing the Accuracy of Digital Surface Models Derived from Optical Imagery Acquired with Unmanned Aerial Systems
Small unmanned aerial systems (UASs) equipped with an optical camera are a cost-effective strategy for topographic surveys. These low-cost UASs can provide useful information for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction even if…
Workshop Standardization of procedures in using UAS for environmental monitoring
Workshop “Standardization of procedures in using UAS for environmental monitoring” Date: 6 November, 2019 Venue: Department of Civil Engineering, University of Coimbra (Coimbra, Portugal) We are pleased to inform that…
On the Use of Unmanned Aerial Systems for Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring plays a central role in diagnosing climate and management impacts on natural and agricultural systems; enhancing the understanding of hydrological processes; optimizing the allocation and distribution of water…
On the derivation of flow rating-curves in data-scarce environments
River monitoring is a critical issue for hydrological modelling that relies strongly on the use of flow rating curves (FRCs). In most cases, these functions are derived by least-squares fitting…
Exploring the optimal experimental setup for surface flow velocity measurements using PTV
Advances in flow monitoring are crucial to increase our knowledge on basin hydrology and to understand the interactions between flow dynamics and infrastructures. In this context, image processing offers great…
GFA tool – Geomorphic Flood Area tool
GFA – tool is an open-source QGIS plug-in to realize a fast and cost-effective delineation of the floodplains in the contexts where the available data is scarce to carry out…
