Floods do have multiple aspects: they are integral phenomena by nature. In this paper we
deal with the meteorological aspects, which need to be adequately understood in order to …

The increasing threat of post-wildfire hazards creates an imperative for improved post-
wildfire flooding and debris flow prediction capabilities. Because rainfall is a primary driver …

According to the fifth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an increase
in the frequency and the intensity of extreme rainfall is expected in the Mediterranean area …

This study aimed to examine the influence of the random selection of landslide training and
testing sets on the predictive performance of the shallow landslide susceptibility modelling at …

In the Mediterranean region, a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by gale winds,
severe precipitation, and low pressure center, accompanied with a spiral pattern of …

Identifying the instability areas provides useful information about the recognition of the
vulnerable zones and, thus, helps to potentially decrease the harm to the infrastructure and …

Wildfires increase surface runoff and erosional processes from short and intense rain bursts.
In steep mountain watersheds, the progressive entrainment of material induced by surface …

Several authors describe the effectiveness of cover crop management practice as an
important tool to prevent soil erosion, but at the same time, they stress on the high soil loss …

Abstract The city of Genoa (Liguria, Italy) and the Bisagno Valley are affected by frequent
floods, often with loss of human lives. Historically characterised by high flood hazards, the …

The storm hyetograph is critical in drainage design since it determines the peak flooding
volume in a catchment and the corresponding drainage capacity demand for a return period …
