Keywords floods
Abstract discussed together with rainfall regime and trend (for the period in which data are available) and with main modifications due to variations in population number. The aim was to assess if the frequency of damaging floods is changing and if there is a role

Pluvial flood hazard in the city of Rome (Italy)   [28-Jun-2017]

Di Salvo, Cristina ; Ciotoli, Giancarlo ; Pennica, Francesco ; Cavinato, Gian Paolo 
Abstract parameters have been evaluated: (1) susceptibility, defined as the probability of a flood occurring in a certain area (‘flood-prone areas’) which depends on the ground morphology (i.e. presence of depressions, fill volume of depressions) and spatial density

Remotely Sensed Data, Morpho-Metric Analysis, and Integrated Method Approach for Flood Risk Assessment: Case Study of Wadi Al-Arish Landscape, Sinai, Egypt   [2023]

Khalifa, Abdelrahman ; Bashir, Bashar ; Alsalman, Abdullah ; Naik, Sambit Prasanajit ; Nappi, Rosa 
Abstract the relative signals of flood vulnerability of 16 catchments in northern Sinai. The geospatial technique has been applied to process the digital elevation models (DEMs) in order to produce different analysis maps. Basic geometries, in addition to several morpho
Keywords Floods
Abstract simplifies the comparative analysis of several time series by defining some indexes (e.g., the monthly, bi-monthly, and … m-monthly indexes of precipitation, temperature, wet days and precipitation intensity and the monthly flood number) that can be used

Deep learning models to predict flood events in fast-flowing watersheds   [20-Mar-2022]

Luppichini, Marco ; Barsanti, Michele ; Giannecchini, Roberto ; Bini, Monica 
Keywords Arno River; Deep learning; Fast catchment basin; Flood forecasting; Hydraulic models; LSTM
Abstract events lasting only a few hours, with the aid of hydrometric control stations. This methodology allows for the creation of a system able to identify flood events with acceptable errors within several hours' notice. In terms of errors, the results obtained

A GIS-based procedure for preliminary mapping of pluvial flood risk at metropolitan scale   [2018]

Di Salvo, Cristina ; Pennica, Francesco ; Ciotoli, Giancarlo ; Cavinato, Gian Paolo 
Abstract as the probability of a flooding to occur, because of the ground morphology and the spatial probability density of historical floodings. The potential impact was evaluated by considering the consequences of damages on human health, environment, cultural heritages

Analysis of Cosmo-SkyMed observations of the 2008 flood in Myanmar   [1-Jan-2010]

Pulvirenti, L. ; Pierdicca, N. ; Chini, M. 
Keywords floods
Abstract and urban areas, are considered. From the analysis of the Cosmo-SkyMed images, a map representing the extension of the flood at the time of the first radar acquisition is derived.
Keywords flood
Abstract processes can be identified in karsts. We consider the recharge-related flooding of a bare karst, with a case study of a Mediterranean area dominated by semi-arid climate. In these cases floods are rare, short, and sudden but the effects are often very

Flood forecasting in the Tiber catchment area: a methodological analysis   [Oct-2000]

Calenda, G. ; Casaioli, M. ; Cosentino, C. ; Mantovani, R. ; Speranza, A. 
Keywords flood
Abstract river basins where floods may be expected. Object of this paper is a preliminary analysis of the appropriate methodological approach to flood forecasting in the Tiber River basin. An assessment of the flood forecasting skill of a meteorological limited

Multidisciplinary approach for hydrogeologic hazard assessment in the territory of the Campania Region   [2016]

Porfido, Sabina ; Alessio, Giuliana ; Gaudiosi, Germana ; Nappi, Rosa ; Spiga, Efisio 
Abstract , jointly with the urbanization evolution for the Vesuvius area. In particular, seven flood events, the 1581, 1588, 1773, 1899, 1910, 1924 and the 1954 floods occurred in the Salerno province, have been studied in detail; while the alluvial phenomena

Abstract Damaging Hydrogeological Events (DHEs) are episodes of severe weather conditions characterised by strong winds, heavy rainfall, landslides, flooding, and sea storms. Each type of phenomenon developing during DHEs is characterized by a proper dynamic

Relative sea level changes along the coast of Rome (Italy) from InSAR and ground based data: drivers and flooding scenarios for 2100   [Sep-2016]

Keywords Flooding scenario
Abstract projected by the IPCC RCP-4.5 and RCP 8.5 (2014) and ii) the Veermer and Rahmstorf (2009) dual model. For the most severe scenario, our analysis indicate that a broad area will be flooded by 2100.

Abstract rocks outcrop and slope stability phenomena affecting the area vary in density and frequency accordingly. Induced phenomena are divided in landslides, floods and “secondary floods”. The analysis of historical precipitation series highlighted the space
