Hydraulic modeling of coastal flooding based on field observations.

The research activity focuses on the advanced numerical modeling of wave propagation and urban flooding in coastal settings vulnerable to marine inundations. The assignment includes the acquisition and integration of environmental and territorial data necessary for the characterization of the study scenarios. Such data will be obtained both from public sources (e.g., Copernicus services) and through dedicated monitoring campaigns conducted with in-situ and remote sensors. Through the use of advanced numerical models, flooding dynamics will be simulated, evaluating both the influence of climate change on the intensity of meteomarine forcing and the effectiveness of urban adaptation measures aimed at mitigating flood risk.
