Selection announcement for the awarding of no. 1 Research Assignments, 2026_IR_22_GEO
The appointed person will carry out the following activities:− Review of the state of the art and available data for hydraulic modelling and flood damage assessment at the pilot sites.− Development and application of offline probabilistic methods to estimate expected flood hazard and identify the areas most exposed.− Analysis, development and testing of simplified hydraulic models for the rapid, spatially distributed estimation of water depth, velocity and other relevant variables.− Definition and testing of modelling components for integration into the multi-hazard platform’s real-time forecasting chain.− Analysis and selection of flood damage models and functions suited to the characteristics of the pilot sites and the available data.− Preparation of technical documentation, maps and other materials required to share the results with the project partners.
