Compound flood impact forecasting: integrating fluvial and flash flood impact assessments into a unified system
(2022-02)
Article
Open AccessFloods can arise from a variety of physical processes. Although numerous risk assessment approaches stress the importance of taking into account the possible combinations of flood types (i.e. compound floods), this awareness ... -
Application of a fuzzy verification framework for the evaluation of a regional-scale landslide early warning system during the January 2020 Gloria storm in Catalonia (NE Spain)
(2022-07)
Article
Open AccessThe Gloria storm rainfalls affected Catalonia from 20 to 23 January 2020 and triggered multiple landslides, some of which affected buildings and infrastructures (such as roads and railways). This paper presents the rainfall ... -
Real-time assessment of flash flood impacts at pan-European scale: the ReAFFINE method
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
Article
Open AccessThe development of early warning systems (EWSs) is a key element for the effective mitigation of flash flood impacts. Emergency managers and other end-users increasingly recognise the benefit of tools that automatically ... -
The role of young professionals in driving the integration of early warning ystems
(2019-05-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyEarly warning systems (EWSs) help society to prepare for, and respond to, all types of disasters, including those related to hydrometeorological hazards. They save lives and minimize potential economic and environmental ... -
The energy transfer from granular landslides to water bodies explained by a data-driven, physics-based numerical model
(2020-10-29)
Article
Open AccessLandslides falling into water can trigger tsunamis, which are particularly destructive in the proximity of the landslide impact and in narrow water bodies. The energy transfer mechanism between landslide and water wave is ... -
Influence of the mapping unit for regional landslide early warning systems: comparison between pixels and polygons in Catalonia (NE Spain)
(2020-09)
Article
Open AccessThis work presents a prototype landslide early warning system (LEWS) adapted to real-time performance over the region of Catalonia (NE Spain). The system uses high-resolution rainfall information obtained from weather radar ... -
Spatiotemporal precipitation estimation from rain gauges and meteorological radar using geostatistics
(2021-05)
Article
Open AccessAutomatic interpolation of precipitation maps combining rain gauge and radar data has been done in the past but considering only the data collected at a given time interval. Since radar and rain gauge data are collected ... -
Dimensiones de la protección de escollera para las pilas tipo de la administración de carreteras
(1999-01)
Article
Open AccessEn este artículo se presenta el estudio experimental de la protección de escollera ante la erosión local en las pilas de puente, teniendo en cuenta el ángulo del flujo respecto del eje de la pila. Los resultados obtenidos ... -

(1992-01)
Article
Open AccessSe presenta un modelo numérico para el estudio del flujo no permanente en canales de aprovechamientos hidroeléctricos, desarrollado por encargo de las compañías eléctricas operantes en Cataluña. Como características del ... -
Multiobjective direct policy search using physically based operating rules in multireservoir systems
(2020-04-01)
Article
Open AccessThis study explores the ways to introduce physical interpretability into the process of optimizing operating rules for multireservoir systems with multiple objectives. Prior studies applied the concept of direct policy ... -
Exploring protective decision-making in the context of impact-based flood warnings
(2019-12-17)
Article
Open AccessPrevious research has found that users fail to comprehend flood hazard warning messages as well as the possible impacts of the forecast events. A proposed way to improve understanding and uptake is the implementation of ... -
Versatile image-based measurements of granular flows and water wave propagation in experiments of tsunamis generated by landslides
(2020-04-01)
Article
Open AccessLandslides falling into water bodies can generate destructive waves, which can be classified as tsunamis. An experimental facility to study this phenomenon has been set up. It consists of a landslidegenerator releasing ...
