Just a presentation of my work on modelling

1. Riccardo Rigon’s Research
R3
MRI Key Contact Workshop - Berkeley Dec 8 2013

2. Two models/frameworks
I do hydrological models
Especially two:
GEOtop
www.geotop.org,
http://abouthydrology.blogspot.it/search/label/GEOtop,
https://code.google.com/p/geotop/
JGrass-NewAGE
http://abouthydrology.blogspot.it/search/label/JGrass-NewAGE,
https://code.google.com/p/jgrasstools/
They are both unconventional

3. GEOtop
1. Radiation
- distributed model
- sky view factor, self and cast
shadowing, slope, aspect, drainage
2. Water balance
- effective rainfall
- surface flow (runoff and channel
routing)
6.
vegetation
interaction
- multi-layer vegetation
scheme
- evapotranspiration
3. Snow-glaciers
- multilayer snow
scheme
4. surface energy balance
- radiation
- boundary-layer interaction
5. soil energy balance
- soil
temperature
- freezing soil

7. The Spatial Toolbox
4
GIS platforms and tools
provided in various scripting environments
some
selected
raster
processing
and
(JavaScript and groovy) and is supported in
HortonMachine tools are described in detail.
I do tools for hydro-geomorphological analysis
the uDig-scripting editor. In next sections,
Figure 1: uDig GIS interface with spatial toolbox overlay and the three tabs: inputs, outputs and
descriptions tabs at the bottom of the toolbox
uDig Spatial Toolboox
shows the lists of tools relevant for hydro-

geomorphological application.
2 Raster Processing
The Raster processing menu contains a set
of
R. Rigon
tools
useful
for
the
preparation
of
topographic data for hydro-geomorphological
Among the list of tools presented in table 2, a
useful program for advanced raster map
manipulation
is
the
raster
calculator

8. The Physics
Process-wise
Hydrological budgets
Hillslope processes
Rainfall-Runoff
Landslides
Snow modelling
Freezing soil and permafrost

9. A look to other stuff
Something more exciting ?
Thermodynamics of the hydrological cycle
Optimality principles in the hydrological cycle

10. Wha tI want to discuss
Someone wants to join this modelling crew ?
Some one wants to share her/his data with us ?
Someone has ideas for projects where we can
collaborate ?
