Real time updating of the flood frequency distribution through data assimilation
(European Geosciences Union, 2016)
We explore the memory properties of catchments for predicting the likelihood of floods basing on
observations of average flows in pre-flood seasons. Our approach assumes that flood formation is
driven by the superimposition ...
Long term prediction of flood occurrence
(Copernicus Publications, 2016)
How long a river remembers its past is still an open question. Perturbations occurring in large catchments may impact the flow regime for several weeks and months, therefore providing a physical explanation for the occasional ...
Hydraulic modelling of suspended and bed-load transport in erosive flows
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2016)
Depth-averaged modelling of river flows is a widely used technique in hydraulic engineering, given the reduced computational work as compared to a three dimensional numerical solution. Typically, depth-averaged models rely ...
Enhancing Integrated Pest Management in GM Cotton Systems Using Host Plant Resistance
(Frontiers, 2016)
Cotton has lost many ancestral defensive traits against key invertebrate pests. This is suggested by the levels of resistance to some pests found in wild cotton genotypes as well as in cultivated landraces and is a result ...
Comparison between Snow Albedo Obtained from Landsat TM, ETM+ Imagery and the SPOT VEGETATION Albedo Product in a Mediterranean Mountainous Site
(MDPI, 2016)
Albedo plays an important role in snow evolution modeling quantifying the amount of solar
radiation absorbed and reflected by the snowpack, especially in mid-latitude regions with semiarid
conditions. Satellite remote ...
