Stochastic and non-stochastic assessment of complex hydrosystems

October 29 @ 10:00 - 12:00

On Wednesday, October 29, a seminar titled “Stochastic and non-stochastic assessment of complex hydrosystems” will be held in Room Fassò (Building 4A) at 10:00 a.m.

The seminar will be given by Prof. Alonso Pizarro from Universidad Diego Portales.

Abstract

Complex hydrosystems are related to high uncertainty due to the complexity of different processes and their interaction at various spatial and temporal scales. Usually, the main line of assessment relies on deterministic approaches, even though stochastics is the ideal way to move forward. This presentation uses deterministic, stochastic, and their combination to tackle complex hydrosystems. In particular, fluvial monitoring, bibliometric analysis, large-scale rainfall-runoff modelling, and applications to critical infrastructure are covered.


Speaker’s bio
Alonso Pizarro is a professor of hydrology & hydraulic engineering at Universidad Diego Portales. His research interests include hydrology, hydraulics, sediment transport, bridge scour, flood prediction, extreme flood events, stochastic processes in hydrology, environmental monitoring using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs), and remote sensing applications for fluvial monitoring. Alonso utilises advanced surveying and flow measurement techniques and laboratory experiments. He is proficient in advanced programming languages (Matlab and Python) and GIS software (QGIS), which he uses to manipulate and analyse complex datasets, regularly publishing research articles in leading international journals. Alonso has recently adopted open science practices, making available data, codes, and analyses.
