A dynamic, network scale sediment (dis)connectivity model to reconstruct historical sediment transfer and river reach sediment budgets.

The eiLab led a study in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Padova and Macquarie University, for the development of a new dynamic sediment (dis)connectivity model, and its application for river basin study and management. The result is the basin-scale, dynamic sediment connectivity model D-CASCADE, which combines concepts of Read more…

Hydroclimatic change challenges the EU planned transition to a carbon neutral electricity system

Hydrological variability and climate change impacts on water for power: can they undermine EU energy transition targets? The results of a collaboration between the eiLab and E3MLab are now avaiable on Environmental Research Letters. We examine changes in generation from water-dependent thermal and hydropower plants in the Iberian Peninsula and Read more…

A basin-scale approach to estimate river forms resilience to sediment connectivity alterations in data-scarce environments.

EiLab just published a paper on Earth Surface Processes and Landforms (ESPL), which showcases the potential of the CASCADE toolbox to estimate basin-scale river sediment (dis)connectivity, in terms of distributed outputs on sediment delivery and composition. The model was applied on the Vjosa river, one of the last wild river Read more…
