GEOframe Winter School 2025 – Registration link

Dear All,

this is to remind that the seventh edition of the Winter School on GEOframe-NewAge will take place at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical engineering of the University of Trento on December 02-04, 2024 and January 07-10, 2025.

The school aims to help you in understanding the basic principles of physical hydrology and modeling each component of the hydrological cycle (i.e. rainfall, snow, evapotranspiration, runoff, root-zone water content and groundwater flow). 

The school is open to PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, young scientists, and local authorities professionals willing to understand hydrological processes and learning the modeling procedures based on the use of the GEOframe tools. We will explore different the modelling solutions available in the GEOframe system to quantify catchment water budget.

GEOframe is a system for doing hydrology by computer. By saying that it is a system, we emphasise that it is not a model but an infrastructure that contain many differentiated modelling solutions (some tens of that), which are built upon models’ components. Each modeling solution represent the optimal model’s combination to quantify the single component of the hydrological cycle in any study area (i.e. spatially varying rainfall, snow, evapotranspiration, runoff, root-zone water content and groundwater levels) at any time resolution (i.e. from sub-hourly to yearly). GEOframe leverage on the Object Modelling system-framework (v3) that allows to connect modelling components to solve a specific hydrological issue together and having many alternative for its mathematical/numerical description. This infrastructure allows adapting the tools to the problems and not viceversa. GEOframe has been applied to hydrological simulations from the point scale to large catchments as the Blue Nile, and among those is being deployed to the Po river basin (the largest in Italy) and the Adige river basin, with high temporal and spatial resolution. For the latter two applications, distributable modeling solutions are available, calibrated and validated against measured data (e.g. runoff). GEOframe is open source and built with open-source tools.
