Not Just Scientists: How And Why Ordinary People Are Saving The Italian Hydrological Data A recent article published by the SIREN team sheds light on what drives people to donate their time to this transcription project. Their main findings: 1) Many volunteers use skills they already have, like…

🚨 New paper out! 🚨 We studied who contributes to data rescue citizen science projects and why. From retired data pros to environmentally engaged volunteers, discover what drives participation in #citizenscience projects in the field of #hydrology. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

🌧️ How well do CPMs simulate rainfall extremes? We compared the VHR-PRO_IT convection-permitting model with records of Italian rain gauges. Results show better performance for long durations: short events are often underestimated, especially in coastal and lowland areas. doi.org/10.1016/j.wa...

“DataViz: Visualise your data effectively and avoid common pitfalls” is back! Join us at #EGU25 to learn how to create clear and effective data visualizations. 📅 Thu, 01 May, 08:30-10:15. 👤 Organized by @younghydrology.bsky.social. 🔗 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

Large dams need a large dataset! We've just released an open-access dataset covering 528 large dams across Italy, with 100+ descriptors of their upstream catchments (from extreme rainfall to land cover, climate, and more). 🔎 Explore it: doi.org/10.5194/essd...! #OpenData #Hydrology #WaterResources

The deadline is approaching! ⌛ If you plan to attend the conference, please consider submitting an abstract asap. Registration is allowed for 100 individuals, who will be selected on a first-come-first-served basis, with priority given to registrations associated with a submitted abstract.

If you're attending #EGU25, don’t miss this networking opportunity! Join us at the pre-GA networking event on April 11th to connect with other early career scientists, and learn more about the EGU HS Division, the Young Hydrologic Society, and the IAHS!

Are extreme rainfall events intensifying in Italy? 🌧 In doi.org/10.1016/j.ej... we show that: - short-duration ordinary extremes increase all over Italy; - longer duration ordinary extremes exhibit negative trends in some areas; - the most intense extremes vary more than the ordinary ones.

Hydrology Paper of the Day @paolamazzoglio.bsky.social and colleagues on a global assessment related to how often rainfall data has been collected: a history of time series sampling and automation; a regional overview of rain gauge networks; automation in the 20th century; and updated databases.

How has rainfall data resolution evolved over time? 🌧️ In our latest study, "A reassessment of the history of the temporal resolution of rainfall data at the global scale", we explored this question using a database of 126,438 stations across 77 nations. doi.org/10.1016/j.jh...

Abstract submission is now open!
