eiLab research in the Red River basin as part of the IMRR project contributed a chapter in the new book Innovations in Land, Water and Energy for Vietnam’s Sustainable Development edited by M. Anderle (Embassy of Italy to Vietnam, Hanoi, Vietnam). This book presents recent innovative trends in land, water
Matteo Giuliani has been awarded with the 2021 EGU Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award for the Hydrological Sciences Division. This award recognises scientific achievement made by an Early Career Scientist in the field covered by the related division. The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is the leading organisation for Earth, planetary and space
On September 24-25, 2020 we contributed to the online DAFNE Negotiation Simulation Lab (NSL) involving the stakeholders of the Omo-Turkana Basin. This was the third NSL organized by the project, and was focused on presenting the DAFNE tools (e.g., strategic and integrated models, Multi-perspective Visualisation Tool, and Geoportal) and illustrating
On July 9-10, 2020 we contributed to the online DAFNE Negotiation Simulation Lab (NSL) involving the stakeholders of the Zambezi River Basin. This was the third NSL organized by the project, and was focused on presenting the DAFNE tools (e.g., strategic and integrated models, Multi-perspective Visualisation Tool, and Geoportal) and
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 better understand multi-sectoral WEF trade-offs and to capitalize on potential
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 scenarios. In this paper, we introduce ROSS (Robust Optimal Scenario Selection),
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 from February 5th to 7th, and it included the seminar Dammed or damned: 5 open challenges in river basin
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 Paolo Burlando (ORAL) Exploring How Reservoir Design and Operational Trade-offs
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 contribute to extending forecast lead times, in other regions there
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 Climate-fit.city project that brings together 100+ climate researchers, policy-makers and
