A cul-de-sac effect makes Emilia-Romagna more prone to floods in a changing climate

Scientific Reports
The disastrous flood of May 2023 in Emilia-Romagna, Italy, displaced thousands of residents and had severe impacts on the economy, with extensive damage to infrastructure—roads, buildings, bridges—and losses in agriculture and livestock.

Constraining Holocene hydrological changes in the Carpathian–Balkan region using speleothem δ18O and pollen-based temperature reconstructions [PDF]

, 2014
Here we present a speleothem isotope record (POM2) from Ascunsă Cave (Romania) that provides new data on past climate changes in the Carpathian–Balkan region from 8.2 ka until the present.

Estimating pros and cons of statistical downscaling based on EQM bias adjustment as a complementary method to dynamical downscaling

Scientific Reports
The increasing availability of coarse-scale climate simulations and the need for ready-to-use high-resolution variables drive the climate community to the challenge of reducing computational resources and time for downscaling purposes.

Identifying recurring patterns of extreme daily precipitation using K-means algorithm: Uncovering spatial shift driven by climate change over the Italian Peninsula

Weather and Climate Extremes
This study is aimed at investigating the spatial-time pattern of extreme daily precipitation events on the entire Italian peninsula using a k-means cluster analysis that is applied to high-resolution climate projections.

Data assimilation for advanced cross-scale unstructured grid ocean modelling

Frontiers in Marine Science
Coastal zones face growing threats from climate change, including sea-level rise and intensified storm activity. Accurate numerical modelling is essential to predict the impacts of anthropogenic and climate stressors on the coastal zone.

Complex drought patterns robustly explain global yield loss for major crops

Scientific Reports, 2022
Multi-purpose crops as maize, rice, soybean, and wheat are key in the debate concerning food, land, water and energy security and sustainability. While strong evidence exists on the effects of climate variability on the production of these crops, so far ...

Limits of Compartmental Models and New Opportunities for Machine Learning: A Case Study to Forecast the Second Wave of COVID-19 Hospitalizations in Lombardy, Italy

Informatics, 2021
Compartmental models have long been used in epidemiological studies for predicting disease spread. However, a major issue when using compartmental mathematical models concerns the time-invariant formulation of hyper-parameters that prevent the model from
