Extreme Storms in the Italian North-East: frequency, impacts and projected changes

Scientific Responsible for the Department: Antonio Canale

Funder: Fondazione Cariparo

Objectives: RESILIENCE is a research project aiming to exploit simulations from Convection-Permitting Models and novel statistical methods to develop an integrated methodology to assess the impact of climatic variations and changes on the intense precipitation and wind regimes, and on the ensuing triggering of flash floods, debris flows and wind-related forest damages. RESILIENCE brings together an interdisciplinary group of scientists, from hydrologists, to climate modelers, to statisticians, to forest science experts.

Partners:

• University of Padova 
• CNR ISAC, Bologna
• Istituto Universitario di Studi Superiori (IUSS), Pavia

Duration: December 2022 – January 2026
