On May 22, 2020 the AWESOME (Managing Water, Ecosystems and Food Across Sectors and Scales in the South Mediterranean) project has officially started with a virtual kick-off. The main objective of AWESOME is developing a decision-analytic platform based on a multi-level, integrated Water-Ecosystem-Food (WEF) model to Read more…
Deep uncertainty in future climate, socio-economic and technological conditions poses a great challenge to medium-long term decision making. Recently, several approaches have been proposed to identify solutions that are robust with respect to a large ensemble of deeply uncertain future Read more…
In the context of a Rocca Seed Funds initiative, we started a collaboration with Prof. Dara Entekhabi and Dr. Sarah Fletcher from the MIT Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The first meeting of the project was held at MIT Read more…
Globally, many countries are actively seeking to maximize the hydropower potential of major river basins, yielding proposals for constructing approximately 3,700 major dams in the near future. At present, economic cost‐benefit analyses are the dominant approach for evaluating candidate dam Read more…
Here the list of our contributions accepted for the AGU Fall Meeting to be held in San Francisco (CA), December 9-13: Seasonal drought forecasts to optimally balancing multisector interests during reservoir filling transients, Marta Zaniolo, Matteo Giuliani, Andrea Castelletti, and Read more…
Increasingly variable hydrologic regimes combined with more frequent and intense extreme events call for accurate medium‐ to long‐term predictions to timely prompt anticipatory operations. Despite in some locations global climate oscillations and particularly the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) may Read more…
Matteo Giuliani has been invited to the Making climate services a reality in Europe to talk about the value of seasonal forecast for the optimal operations of hydropower reservoir. The conference is a two-day event organized in Brussels by the Read more…
