Hydrology Paper of the Day @paolamazzoglio.bsky.social on a flood severity scale: an idea similar to the Fujita and Mercalli scales but for flood impacts; more than a century of data in Italy utilized for development; web scraping, postprocessing, and a regional database; and addressing applications

Paola Mazzoglio@paolamazzoglio.bsky.social · yesterday

How do you compare a flood from 1920 with one from 2020, when historical discharge data often don't exist? Our new paper proposes FLOSEV, a flood severity scale that ranks events by their impacts (fatalities, affected municipalities, and damage to assets). doi.org/10.1007/s110...

Hydrology Paper of the Day @paolamazzoglio.bsky.social on how Bilinear Surface Smoothing can identify and correct outliers: application to NW Italy; understanding trends and sampling variability; spatiotemporal effects and impacts; scale and interpolation; and an understanding of dependencies.

Paola Mazzoglio@paolamazzoglio.bsky.social · 2mo ago

When you map extreme rainfall, some gauges don't agree with their neighbours. Usually you'd catch those with a separate quality-control. But what if the interpolation model could flag them itself? That's what we explored with the BSSE framework across NW Italy. 📄 doi.org/10.1016/j.ej...

Hydrology Paper of the Day @dovciak-lab.bsky.social on herbaceous plants in the forest understory: addressing scientific questions and the need for more research in the Global South; expert ranking of research directions; and a need to understand geographical patterns of diversity and hydrology.

🌿 New paper! The forest herb layer can account for up to 80% of plant diversity, yet remains understudied. I’m glad to have contributed to this Yale-led collaboration identifying 100 questions to advance forest herb-layer ecology. What did we miss? 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I recently went out to the Eager Hill area near Cranbrook to capture some cinematography of the shale rocks from the Cambrian (542 Ma - 513 Ma). The rocks in this area are more than 500 million years old. It's incredible to realize that the geology of the East Kootenay is so old and remarkable.

There was a partial eclipse of the moon on 27 August. The eclipse was visible in the Kootenays. It was enjoyable to determine that at 800 ISO, exposure of the Moon required a 1 second shutter speed at f/11 aperture. To expose the landscape took much longer than 1 second.
