Sandra Ricart, a postodoc researcher in eiLab, is taking part in Meet Me Tonight 2021 (MMT21) to present its work for the MODFABE project. The MODFABE project deals with modeling the farmers’ behavior in the face of climate change to improve the farmer’s adaptation capacity and increase the robustness of
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 the Danube river basin by constraining the EU energy system model PRIMES to water availability and temperature
Paolo Gazzotti is an interdipartmental PhD (Magamement Engineering and Information Technology) at Politecnico di Milano supervised by prof. Massimo Tavoni and prof. Andrea Castelletti. He will defend his Ph.D. thesis “A multi-agent approach for climate change negotiations” on Thursday 23rd September at 10:00. His work deals with cost-benefit integrated assessment
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
eiLab contributed to a recent publication on the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), which demonstrates an approach to identify planning levers that can increase the resilience of river deltas under a wide range of future conditions for the Mekong Delta. Globally,
Dr. Elena Matta gave a keynote talk on the Machine Learning Day of the AEMON-J Hacking Limnology workshop, organised by researchers of the Center of Limnology of the University of Madison-Wisconsin. She presented some highlights from a wide range of hydraulic and hydrological engineering applications in surface waters, such as predicting sediment transport, water levels
