An operational surge forecast system based on a combination of a hydrodynamic model and an artificial neural network is described. The system runs at the centre for sea level …
The development, calibration and validation of a two-dimensional finite element model for the Venice Lagoon is described. The model uses a staggered grid for the spatial integration …

A new set of two‐dimensional shallow flow equations is developed in order to deal with partially wet and very irregular domains. The bottom irregularities, which in many practical …
In this work the water residence time of the Venice Lagoon has been computed using a 2D hydrodynamic model. The model is based on the finite element method. It solves the shallow …

A numerical model that combines wind waves with tidal fluxes in a tidal basin is presented and validated. The model couples a hydrodynamic finite element module based on the …
In this work the flushing features of a tidal active coastal basin, the Venice lagoon, have been investigated. The water transport time scale (TTS) has been computed by means of …
The Strait of Bonifacio is a long and narrow area between Corsica and Sardinia. To manage environmental emergencies related to the spill of oil from vessels, an innovative forecasting …
The study of impacts of the global climate change in the coastal lagoons, specially in the Mediterranean region, is an important starting point for all the vulnerability studies, risk …
The MoSE project (construction of mobile barrier to safeguard the Lagoon of Venice) entails changes to the structure of the lagoon's inlets. This could have consequences for the areas …
