Frane e alluvioni, una lunga storia italiana
STSE Water Cycle Multi-mission Observation Strategy for the Mediterranean
Monitoring the water cycle from satellite observations is one of the major goals of the EO community and closing the water budget has been a long-standing objective of international programs. After years of hard work, calibrating satellite data, improving inversion techniques, and facilitating the coherency of retrievals, it is admitted that the water cycle budget can now be ...

Il bilancio delle alluvioni che rende la Liguria la seconda regione in Italia per numero di vittime
Hydrological-hydraulic validation of satellite data
The service aims to assess the potential of different satellite products (from active and passive micro-waves, optical, SAR, spectroradiometers, radiometers sensors) in retrieving the main hydrological-hydraulic variables such as rainfall, soil moisture, water level, flow velocity and discharge. This is pursued through a comprehensive validation analysis by using in-situ observed or modelled data for several sited located ...

Control and validation of hydro-meteorological data
The analysis of hydro-meteorological data is required to verify the correct sensors functioning and possible presence of non-operational periods with missing data. When non-operational periods or malfunction occur, it could be possible to apply procedures for missing data reconstructions and wrong data ...
Levees and bridges vulnerability
Assessment of bridge piers/abutments vulnerability to scour and overtopping hazard, assessment of levee vulnerability to seepage and overtopping hazard. The analysis is based on clearly identified criteria. Specifically, overtopping (IVS) and erosion (IVE) vulnerability indices are evaluated for each selected bridge, and the overtopping (IVsorm) and seepage vulnerability indices (IVsif) are calculated for the ...
Flood events analysis
The service is based on a procedure consisting of four main steps: the analysis of hydro-meteorological data for the reconstruction of flood event in terms of precipitations and saturation conditions of the soils; assessment of the hydrological response of the basin; runoff estimation in each hydrometric site of interest; flooded areas delineation and comparison with in-situ ...
Climate change impact on extreme events
The service analyzes the climate change impact on the main hydro-meteorological variables involved in the hydrological cycle and, in particular, on extreme events of rainfall and discharge (droughts and floods). The service allows to evaluate the combined effects of natural and human processes related to climate change on surface runoff and groundwater, analyzing the possible consequences of such effects on the strategic water ...

Dissesto idrogeologico. L’Italia di nuovo alle prese con pioggia e frane
Online il nuovo sito web dell’IRPI CNR
Si aggiorna e cambia pelle il sito web dell'Istituto di Ricerca per la Protezione Idrogeologica (IRPI), uno dei dodici istituti del Dipartimento Scienze del Sistema Terra e Tecnologie per l'Ambiente del Cnr
Con il nuovo sito https://www.irpi.cnr.it è stato aggiornato anche il logo dell'Istituto. Il sito, con contenuti in italiano e in inglese, rappresenta la vetrina per i progetti di ricerca e di sviluppo tecnologico realizzati dall'Istituto ...
Aerial and terrrestrial LiDAR surveys
The study of the evolution of the territory and especially of the of geo-hydrological instabilities can be often based on the use of high resolution digital terrain models. The possibility to make ad hoc surveys and repeat them over time can be useful for the identification and measurement of the topographic effects of a particular morphological process. LiDAR can be usually considered the best solution for the creation of high resolution DEM. ...

Flooding-prone areas delineation for hydraulic risk assessment for river reaches of the secondary hydrographic network in Tiber river basin
Integration of hydrometric measurements for river discharge monitoring and channel roughness coefficients assessment
River discharge monitoring is fundamental for the study of the hydraulic regime of river flow and for the validation and calibration of rainfall-runoff models. The assessment of channel roughness coefficients associated with the measured discharges is fundamental for the calibration of flood routing models that can be used to address civil protection activities in real time. Unfortunately, the number of river flow monitoring stations in the ...
