AMHEI – Advancing Multi-Hazard Understanding in Earthquake-Affected Regions

Prime company: British Geological Survey – BGS (GB)

AMHEI aims to revolutionize multi-hazard assessment by developing AI-driven models to better understand long-term hazards scenarios associated to landslides, floods and earthquakes. While most research has focused on single hazards as standalone event or short-term impact following major earthquakes or floods, AMHEI seeks to fill a critical gap by investigating the long-term assessment of hazards …

Can AI enhance climate extremes prediction?

Climate extremes, including heatwaves, droughts, and storms, have severe societal impacts, making reliable predictions crucial in a warming world. The demand for accurate forecasts, particularly on timescales ranging from weeks to decades, is growing among policymakers and stakeholders. However, traditional climate models face limitations in predicting such events due to the inherent complexity of weather …

EO4FLOOD

Prime company: CNR-RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR GEO-HYDROLOGICAL PROTECTION – IRPI (IT)

Floods rank among the most destructive natural disasters, causing significant harm to human health, the environment, cultural heritage, and economies. In Europe alone, floods have led to approximately 4,000 fatalities and $274 billion in economic losses over the past 50 years, with even more severe impacts in developing countries. As climate change accelerates the frequency …

MEDICANES

Prime company: CNR-ISAC – INSTITUTE OF ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES AND CLIMATE (IT)

Among the most prominent hydrometeorological risks in the Mediterranean region is the occurrence of medicanes, namely storm-systems that attain the structural characteristics of actual tropical cyclones. Medicanes have been widely documented to inflict important socio-economic impacts in the region. Therefore, the overarching objective of this project is to address these catastrophic systems in an integrated …
