Enhancing Reservoir Design by Integrating Resilience into the Modified Sequent Peak Algorithm (MSPA 2024)
SCORE project partner from IST have published a paper in Water. It is available in open access. Abstract This study introduces the modified sequent peak algorithm (MSPA 2024), an advanced reservoir design framework that incorporates resilience as a key performance metric alongside traditional measures like reliability and vulnerability. By integrating resilience thresholds, MSPA 2024 addresses the complexities…
Read MoreOpportunistic sensing with satellite communications using a conditional ensemble neural network
SCORE project partners from MBI and UNIPI have presented a paper at the GLOBECOM 2024. It is available in open access. Abstract Rainfall estimation, a key task for enabling sustainable and intelligent living, has traditionally been carried out using dedicated devices. Recently, machine learning (ML) applications exploiting opportunistic satellite-to-earth microwave links (SMLs) have gained traction.…
Read MoreVisualising Exceptional Rainfall in Portugal: The Severity Heat Map Approach (1981/1982–2022/2023)
SCORE project partner from IST-ID have presented a paper at The 8th International Electronic Conference on Water Sciences. It is available in open access. Abstract This study develops a Severity Heat Map to analyse the spatiotemporal dynamics of exceptional rainfall in Portugal over 42 hydrological years (1981/1982–2022/2023) using the ERA5-Land reanalysis dataset. By employing four upper…
Read MoreAnálisis de la dinámica espacial y temporal de precipitaciones excepcionales en Portugal: Un enfoque innovador
SCORE project partner from IST-ID have presented a paper at the XXXI Congreso Latinoamericano de Hidraulica. It is available in open access. Abstract Este estudio analiza la dinámica de las precipitaciones excepcionales en Portugal durante 42 años hidrolĂłgicos (del 1 de octubre de 1981 al 30 de septiembre de 2023) utilizando datos diarios del conjunto ERA5-Land,…
Read MoreMulticriteria analysis as a method for engaging stakeholders and citizens in activities aimed at supporting climate resilience and adaptation to climate change – Gdansk Coastal City Living Lab case study
SCORE project partners from UG and ZRS have published a paper in Miscellanea Geographica – Regional Studies on Development. It is available in open access. Abstract In this study, we aimed to present solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change, summer torrential rain, and pluvial flooding. Within the GdaĹ„sk living lab, a multicriteria analysis…
Read MoreStudy of the factors affecting the vegetation of the dune system of Guardamar del Segura, Spain
SCORE project partner from UA have published a paper in Ocean & Coastal Management. It is available in open access. Abstract Vegetation is an element of the dune ecosystem that plays a highly relevant role in coastal protection. It is essential to measure their changes with high precision and their evolution over time. Therefore, it is…
Read MoreProyecto europeo SCORE de adaptación al cambio climático en zonas costeras (Horizon 2020)
SCORE project partner from ENT have presented a paper at the CONAMA – National congress on environment. It is available in open access. Abstract El proyecto SCORE (Smart Control of the Climate Resilience in European Coastal Cities) es una iniciativa financiada por la UniĂłn Europea a travĂ©s del programa Horizonte 2020, con un presupuesto de 10…
Read MoreDeep Learning for Opportunistic Rain Estimation via Satellite Microwave Links
SCORE project partners from MBI, CNR, LaMMA, UNIPI, have published a paper in MDPI. It is available in open access. Abstract Accurate precipitation measurement is critical for managing flood and drought risks. Traditional meteorological tools, such as rain gauges and remote sensors, have limitations in resolution, coverage, and cost-effectiveness. Recently, the opportunistic use of microwave…
Read MoreRed-Hot Portugal: Mapping the Increasing Severity of Exceptional Maximum Temperature Events (1980–2024)
SCORE project partner from IST have published a paper in Atmosphere. It is available in open access. Abstract This study examines exceptional maximum temperature (Tmax) events in mainland Portugal (1980–2024) using ERA5-Land reanalysis data at 1012 locations. To assess changes in the occurrence and temperature excess of exceptional events across two 22-year subperiods (or phases), percentile-based…
Read MoreStorm surge in Spain: Factors and effects on the coast
SCORE project partner from UA have published a paper in Marine Geology. It is available in open access. Abstract Storm surge is a fundamental process to understanding the behaviour of sea level. This variable, which depends on atmospheric pressure and wind action, has been widely documented. However, few studies quantify these relationships for various geographic areas.…
