The #Amazon faces a "pincer grip" of global warming and localized #deforestation. Research indicates that if 20-25% of the forest is cleared, the #hydrological cycle will collapse, transitioning the basin into a dry #savannah. Current deforestation is estimated at 17%.

We have kicked off the EAGruMo project with our partners @tu Clausthal and @Ostfalia. Over the next three years, we will work on the integrated #hydrological and #hydrogeological modeling of a mining tunnel to assess the potential for using these structures for water resources management. Co-funded by the #European union, #EFRE, @tubraunschweig

Restoring the Lower Danube River's wetlands: a short report on the hydrological effectiveness of completed projects

Our report synthesizes information on (i) restoration projects along the Lower Danube River in order to show their hydrological effects and (ii) reference conditions of sites in order to better understand the evolution of riparian wetlands under present-day conditions.Our report (i) concluded on the difficulty to successfully restore the hydrology of the Lower Danube wetlands and (ii) pointed out restrictive factors for the terrestrialization of wetlands and islands in reference conditions.Overall, the report is a state of the art that shows a general picture of the present-day hydrological conditions of the Lower Danubeโ€™s wetlands.

Toward Systematic Literature Reviews in Hydrological Sciences

Systematic literature reviews can provide an objective global overview of background research on hydrological questions. This study presents a methodology to ensure rigor, traceability, and replicability in evaluating state-of-the-art hydrological topics. The proposed methodology involved systematic, objective, and explicit steps. Strategies with defined selection criteria were used to search the relevant literature comprehensively and accurately on hydrological uncertainty as a case study. The most pertinent documents were filtered to build a critical state-of-the-art synthesis for evaluating their quality and relevance. This methodology allows systematic literature analysis to provide an objective summary of the evidence, with a structured procedure for state-of-the-art reviews, which promotes transparency in the search, unlike typical review papers that lack reproducible methodologies that may lead to obtaining a potentially subjective reference selection. Consequently, the proposed methodology improves reference reliability and study reproducibility while generalizing the methodology. This procedure has proven effective and practical for building state-of-the-art research in the study case (State-of-the-art Uncertainty in Hydrological forecasting from 2017 to 2023) and can be considered a relevant tool in hydrology and other STEM disciplines, providing a rigorous and transparent approach that enhances evidence quality and reliability.

Happy to host Gabriele Bertoli for his thesis about detection and characterisation of #hydrological ๐ŸŒŠ #extremes using #ArtificialIntelligence #AI. Gabriele is from @UNI_FIRENZE
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น, supervised by Prof. Enrica Caporali. We are looking forward to two exciting months of exchanging research ideas๐Ÿ’ก!
My first foray into #30DayMapChallenge is for the flow category, which links nicely with the work I'm doing for

#mapping #hydrological flows across the nature reserve.
An interesting place with restored #wetland
All done using #qgis - where would we be without it!
