Bobbink, I. (author), Gao, W. (author), Banfi, I. (author)The water-harvesting system of the ancient Sassi di Matera, in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, represents a clever way of living with water in an arid climate. The terrain, with its soft rocks (Calcarenite di Gravina), provided the foundation for the water-harvesting system that shaped the cave dwellings of Sassi physically, socially...journal article 2023

Christakos, Konstantinos (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Gao, Zhen (author), Björkqvist, Jan-Victor (author)It was recently shown that the Arctic has been warming much faster than the rest of the globe during the last decades. This warming has reduced the ice extent significantly, which will strongly impact the wave climate in the Arctic regions, thus affecting the design of marine structures, operations, and energy resources. This study focuses on...journal article 2023

Gao, Zhan (author), Isufi, E. (author)Stochastic graph neural networks (SGNNs) are information processing architectures that learn representations from data over random graphs. SGNNs are trained with respect to the expected performance, which comes with no guarantee about deviations of particular output realizations around the optimal expectation. To overcome this issue, we propose...journal article 2023
