The eiLab led a study in collaboration with Technische Universität Berlin, Einstein Center Digital Future, Delft University of Technology, University of Melbourne, TU Dortmund University, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTECH, and University of Seville, to carried out a systematic review on Model Predictive Control (MPC) and its recently gained increasing interest in
The eiLab carried out a systematic review to identify the current research trends and set the future research agenda on climate change awareness, perceived impacts and adaptive capacity from farmers’ experiences and behavior. Individuals and communities socially construct risk, and societies with greater risk perception may be more apt to
The eiLab participates in a study in collaboration with colleagues from the Fondazione Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici, to address the questions of whether Genesis Potential Indices (GPIs) are still relevant in the era of Tropical Cyclones-permitting climate model ensembles, and whether they have sufficient predictive skills. Tropical Cyclones (TC) are extreme
The eiLab led a study in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Padova and Stanford University, to develop a sediment routing model (D-CASCADE) able to assess the impacts of reservoirs and their management strategies on river sediment connectivity. Trade-offs between hydropower generation and sediment connectivity across cascades of multiple
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
The eiLab led a study in collaboration with colleagues from Tufts University, Cornell University, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which shows how the adoption of coordinated global policies to mitigate climate change could reduce any harmful and unwanted impacts on the Water-Energy-Food nexus on a local scale. The study, published
The Italian Ministry for Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility (MIMS) has published a report on the current and projected impact of climate change on the Italian infrastructure systems, as well as adaptation and mitigation measures with associated financial investment. EIlab contributed with the water networks chapter. The report can be downloaded
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
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,
