Job title: Sistema multiescala híbrido para la predicción en el corto plazo y las proyecciones de cambio climático de la inundación debida a fenómenos compuestos (MyFlood)
Research line / Scientific-technical services: Compound flood risk.
Tasks to be performed:
One of the objectives of the project “Hybrid Multiscale System for Short-Term Prediction and Climate Change Projections of Flooding Due to Compound Events (MyFlood)” is to develop a system for both short-term (early warning systems) and long-term (climate change effects) predictions of flooding due to compound events in coastal zones. This system aims to improve current predictions, providing significant practical implications for flood risk management in coastal areas.
This will require the development of a series of hydrological and hydraulic flood models at both regional (the entire Spanish coast) and local scales (pilot cases).
The person hired will collaborate with the other project partners in:
– Developing flood models using Iber software for the pilot cases established in the project.
– Analyzing compound flooding in the pilot cases.
– Processing and statistically analyzing observed rainfall, discharge, sea level, and wave data. – Writing reports on the results.
Requirements
Research FieldEngineering » Civil engineeringEducation LevelBachelor Degree or equivalent
Skills/Qualifications
To effectively perform the tasks outlined above, it’s advisable that the selected candidate has knowledge of:
– Numerical flood modelling using Iber software
– Hydrological modelling of extreme precipitation events
– Q-GIS at a user level
– Python at a user level
