Climate shows a natural variability that influences the dynamics of river discharges. In particular, intense precipitations would cause floods, while prolonged dry periods are associated to droughts phenomena. In the Mediterranean area, climate change is expected to increase the frequency of...

Here the concept of return period is discussed in terms of the stationarity of the process. If the process is stationarity the concept of return period is well defined and ambiguities do not arise. If the process is non stationary, as it could be any climate driven phenomenon under climate...

This work presents the conditioned upscaling procedure applied in the Po-FEWS system by Hydrology area of ARPA SIMC Emilia Romagna to select the rainfall daily scenarios which better fit seasonal meteorological forecasts. Seasonal meteorological forecast provides qualitatively useful information...

River floods are a common natural hazard in Europe, causing high mortality and immense economic damage (EM-DAT 2009). Human-induced climate change will alter intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, hence flood risk (IPCC 2012). While large-scale assessments of flood risk dominate...

This document is aimed to show the main results of climate projections, under two RCPs, at 2100 obtained in WP A.2.6 “High-resolution climate scenarios” on the geo-hydrological hotspots identified within WP A.2.17 “Analysis of geo-hydrological risk related to climate change” of GEMINA...

This document describes the numerical models and tools constituting the integrated system for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the hydrogeological risks due to climate change developed in the framework of the GEMINA project (product P91). In particular the work package 6.2.17...

The aim of the report within GEMINA project is to present a methodology to probabilistically derive peak flood distribution from the statistical representation of extreme rainfall at the fixed durations of 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours over an area of interest. The methodology provides an analytical...
