Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
Welcome! This project recently migrated onto Zooniverse’s new architecture. For details, see here.
The Team
The SIREN project is managed by Paola Mazzoglio and Miriam Bertola, with the support of Luca Lombardo, Chiara Sacco, Alberto Viglione, Pierluigi Claps and Francesco Laio. We are a team of hydrologists working at Politecnico di Torino (Italy) and Vienna University of Technology (Austria).
Meet the team!
Paola Mazzoglio
Paola is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) of Politecnico di Torino, Italy. Paola has previous experience in the creation of the Improved Italian - Rainfall Extreme Dataset (I2-RED), a collection of sub-daily annual maximum rainfall depths measured by more than 5000 rain gauges from 1916 up to the present. Other research topics are rainfall frequency analysis and spatio-temporal variability of rainfall extremes.

Miriam Bertola
Miriam is a Project Assistant (Post-Doc) at the Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources Management of Vienna University of Technology, Austria. Miriam has previous experience in the digitisation of historical flood data and coordinated the update of a European-wide dataset of floods. Her research topics are the attribution of changes to climate and anthropogenic drivers, flood change mechanisms and flood trends.

Luca Lombardo
Luca is a PhD student at the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) of Politecnico di Torino working on regional hydrological modelling over the Greater Alpine Area (GAR).
Alberto Viglione
Alberto is an Associate Professor at the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) of the Politecnico di Torino since 2019. He worked as Research Fellow at the Vienna University of Technology in the field of "Flood Hydrology" from 2007 until 2018. His work is focused on understanding the spatio-temporal dynamics of climatic, hydrologic and human processes in river basins to decipher the implications of these dynamics on the probabilities of extreme hydrological events (in particular river floods) and their evolution in space and time.

Francesco Laio
Francesco is Full Professor in Hydrology at the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) of Politecnico di Torino and he is Head of the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI). He is a water scientist with expertise in hydrology, water resources assessment, environmental modelling, and statistics. He obtained the PhD in 2002 at the Politecnico di Milano and he also has previous experience as associate researcher at the Princeton University (1999-2000).

Pierluigi Claps
Pierluigi is Full Professor in Hydrology at the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) of Politecnico di Torino. His work is focused on regional statistical analysis of extreme rainfalls and floods, assessment of extreme thunderstorm hazard over large areas, climate change effects assessment in mountain regions and regional analysis of flow duration curves.
