Innovation: testing is underway on the local warning for very small basins, where buried rivers and streams are a danger
December 2024
Many towns were built over small buried rivers. Dry for most of the year, heavy rains may fill them up again. Exceeding design flow rates, solid flood transport and difficult underground maintenance can suddenly lead to dangerous situations. Structural solutions to mitigate these risk scenarios can be time-consuming and difficult to implement. In the meantime, setting up an appropriate local warning system is to be considered. This is what ARPAE Emilia-Romagna is testing in the Bologna basin of the Ravone…

CNR and CAE together against fires in the Arctic
August 2024
The fires in the Arctic, in June 2024, according to the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), emitted more than 7.8 million tons of CO2. In the past these fires, originated by lightning, were without particular consequences, but climate change provides ideal conditions for their spread with catastrophic effects. Local communities need to be supported to be better informed and prepared for these events and better able to manage them. As part of the Arctic PASSION project, two Italian excellence institutions in research and industry, CNR and CAE, are committed to building a service that can contribute to fulfil these needs.
