Geospatial Application on Mapping Groundwater Potential Zones in Samsun, Türkiye
SCORE project partner from SAMSUN have published a paper in International Journal of Engineering Research in Mechanical and Civil Engineering It is available in open access. Abstract Groundwater is a vital resource for sustaining human life and ecosystems, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. However, its availability is highly dependent on various factors such as…
Read MoreAssessing the implementation process of Ecosystem-based Adaptation in coastal urban areas
SCORE project partner from ENT have presented a paper at the EGU Assembly 2025. It is available in open access. Abstract Nature-based solutions (NbS) are regarded as an umbrella concept for actions focused on nature conservation and restoration, offering a range of social, economic, and environmental benefits. When specifically dealing with climate change adaptation, the term…
Read MoreExploitation of satellite data to evaluate Digital Twins of Coastal Urban Areas
SCORE project partners from CNR, UNIPI, MBI have presented a paper at the URBIS24. It is available in open access. Abstract Extreme weather events, sea level rise and coastal erosion are major issues that need to be urgently addressed in European coastalcities. Smart technologies can support Coastal Cities Living Lab (CCLLs) in detecting potential risky conditions…
Read MoreFlood modeling in Samsun Engiz Stream: Evaluation of the adequacy of river sections with HEC-RAS
SCORE project partner from SAMSUN have published a paper in DergiPark Akademik. It is available in open access. Abstract Floods pose a significant threat to communities, particularly in Turkey’s Central Black Sea Region, where they cause widespread economic, social, and environmental damage. The Ondokuzmayis district of Samsun has been especially vulnerable to recurrent flooding, emphasizing…

SCORE project partners from UNIPI, CNR and MBI have presented a paper at the in International Conference on Opportunistic Sensing of Precipitation . It is available in open access. Abstract The backhauling links of terrestrial wireless networks (Commercial Microwave Links, CMLs) and the downlink of satellite broadcasting/broadband services (Satellite Microwave Links, SML) operating in the Ku-band…
Read MorePrecipitation field reconstruction and tracking using opportunistic rain sensors: the summer 2021 catastrophic event in Germany as a case study
SCORE project partners from UNIPI and CNR have presented a paper at the in International Conference on Opportunistic Sensing of Precipitation . It is available in open access. Abstract In this work, we present a practical application of an opportunistic technique for the estimation of rainfall intensity. It is based on signal strength measurements made by…
Read MoreSatellite Mapping Analysis of the November 2023 Flood in Prato, Tuscany
SCORE project partners from CNR, MBI will present a paper at EGU Assembly 2025. It is available in open access. Abstract Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, leading to greater risks for vulnerable urban areas. Inadequate infrastructure often exacerbates vulnerability of many areas, resulting in significant socioeconomic losses from climate-related…
Read MoreThe potential of opportunistic rainfall sensing to complement conventional sensors: The 2017 flash flood in Leghorn (Italy) as a case study
SCORE project partner from UNIPI have presented a paper at the in URSI Asia-Pacific Radio Science Conference (AP-RASC) 2025. It is available in open access. Abstract Accurate weather forecasting, particularly in the field of nowcasting, plays a crucial role in a wide range of applications, including public safety, business services, and personal applications. The ability to…
Read MoreSpatial Scenarios With Real-Time Spatial Delphi and Asymptotic Consensus Analysis: An Application to Ten European Coastal Cities
SCORE project partner from UCD have published a paper in Wiley. It is available in open access. Abstract Recent climatic events, such as coastal erosion, floods, and elevated temperatures, threaten the planet’s sustainability and the well-being of European coastal cities. These events are expected to increase significantly, emphasizing the urgent need for careful analysis to…
Read MoreA Review of Technical Aspects and Challenges in Opportunistic Rainfall Estimation Using Satellite and Terrestrial Microwave Links
SCORE project partner from UNIPI have published a paper in Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine. It is available in open access. Abstract The idea of using terrestrial or satellite microwave links as opportunistic sensors (OSs) of rainfall is more than 15 years old and the literature on the topic is vast. Many studies focused on rain detection…
