Sharing Insights at CARLA 2024 – Advancing Coastal Lagoon Management with HPC
On October 3, 2024, Dr. José M. Cecilia had the privilege of being a keynote speaker at the 11th Latin America High-Performance Computing Conference (CARLA 2024), held from September 30 to October 4 in Santiago, Chile. CARLA has established itself as the premier venue in Latin America for fostering innovation and collaboration within the High-Performance Computing (HPC) community. The event brought together brilliant minds from around the world, showcasing the intersection of HPC, Artificial Intelligence, and their transformative applications. CARLA’s reputation as a hub for cutting-edge research and exchange of ideas was evident through an impressive lineup of keynotes and invited talks. Experts like Marta...
BODOQUE: An Energy-Efficient Flow Monitoring System for Ephemeral Streams
Effective environmental monitoring is crucial for managing global environmental challenges and providing the necessary data for Environmental Intelligence (EI). This discipline involves the integration of data from various sources to gain a comprehensive understanding of specific regions or processes. In this post, we introduce BODOQUE, a hardware-software infrastructure to monitor water flows in ephemeral streams where the water rarely flows with great force. BODOQUE uses a low-power TinyML-based camera to detect the presence of water, activating a more complex system to measure flow only when the water flows, thereby optimizing energy consumption. This device is being deployed in the Segura basin, Murcia, Spain. This...
SMARTLAGOON at the 2023 Denmark SWAT Conference
From June 26th to 30th, our researchers of the European project SMARTLAGOON attended the 2023 Denmark SWAT Conference. This congress held at the Aarhus University had a massive participation with more than 170 participants from 41 different countries. Under the titles "Developing a high-resolution global digital soil map for enhanced hydrological modelling with the SWAT+ model" and "Evaluating the hydrological performance of three global digital soil maps using SWAT+" the researchers Adrián López-Ballesteros and Gerardo Castellanos-Osorio presented the results obtained in the paper "DSOLMap, a novel high-resolution global digital soil property map for the SWAT + model: Development and hydrological evaluation". This research details how...
SMARTLAGOON represented at scientific meetings: DSOS and SIL
In July and August 2022, Jorrit Mesman represented SMARTLAGOON at two scientific events; the virtual DSOS (Data Science Open Science) Summit and the SIL (International Society of Limnology) conference in Berlin, Germany. Our project is composed of scientific knowledge and expertise that has been built-up over the past decades, but SMARTLAGOON also generates new knowledge that may benefit the larger scientific community, and therefore it is good to occasionally share this knowledge at scientific meetings. Moreover, by listening to and interacting with other scientists, new insights may be gained that can further help to achieve SMARTLAGOON’s goals. DSOS is a virtual event that intends to...
