 ation to the study of the evolution 
 of coastal flooding, focus is given 
 to the role of impulsive waves and t
 heir potential impact of coasts. An 
 analysis is proposed largely based o
 n use of analytical and numerical so
 lutions developed by the UNIVPM Hydr
 aulics research group.\n Starting fr
 om the setup of the Nonlinear Shallo
 w Water Equations (NSWE) framework, 
 an assessment of the Initial Value v
 s Boundary Value Problem is given, f
 ollowed by the description of some a
 pplications and the proposal of a ne
 w set of Dispersive NSWE.\n Numerica
 l solvers for the NSWE and DNSWE are
  also briefly described, by highligh
 ting some similarities and differenc
 es with Boussinesq-type solutions. F
 inally, a quasi-3D model is describe
 d, its performances being evaluated 
 in relation to both impulsive and pe
 riodic waves.\n Applications are als
 o shown, of a recent simplified appr
 oach that blends analytical and nume
 rical techniques to provide informat
 ion of tsunami impacts on large regi
 ons of coastline with a relatively s
 mall numerical effort. A modeling ch
 ain approach is used to enable use o
 f wave information typically employe
 d in tsunamis warning procedures, th
 en propagated inshore by means of an
  analytical method based on an exten
 sion of Green’s law and subsequently
  by means of high-resolution numeric
 al solutions, this giving a fairly a
 ccurate description of the flooded a
 reas.\n  \n About the Speaker\n Maur
 izio Brocchini is an expert in the h
 ydrodynamics and morphodynamics of c
 oastal, estuarine and riverine water
 s, with over 30 years of experience 
 in the field. His main area of resea
 rch is the mathematical and numerica
 l modelling of shallow water dynamic
 s. He graduated in Theoretical Physi
 cs, with full marks and honours, in 
 1989 at the University of Bologna (I
 taly). He earned his PhD in Applied 
 Mathematics in 1996 at the Universit
 y of Bristol (UK).\n Formerly Head o
 f the Civil, Building Engineering an
 d Architecture Department, at the Un
 iversità Politecnica delle Marche, A
 ncona, he is Full Professor of Hydra
 ulics and Fluid Mechanics. He was tu
 tor for 21 PhD theses and for over 5
 0 MSc theses. He has managed and col
 laborated on 13 European Union compe
 titive projects, 5 competitive proje
 cts launched by international organi
 zations outside the European Union, 
 and 6 national competitive research 
 projects funded by the Italian Minis
 try of Research. He is Associate Edi
 tor of the scientific journal "Journ
 al of Waterways Ports Coasts and Oce
 an Engineering", A.S.C.E. He is also
  a member of the editorial boards of
  the following journals: "Coastal En
 gineering", Elsevier; "Journal of Hy
 drodynamics", Elsevier; "Ocean Engin
 eering", Elsevier. He regularly revi
 ews proposals for over 10 research f
 unding agencies in Italy, Europe, an
 d the United States. He is author/co
 -author of over 150 peer-reviewed pa
 pers appearing on Scopus/ISI-listed 
 international journals, with total c
 itations of over 4600 and H-index of
  36 (Scopus). He was awarded by the 
 European Community a Marie Curie Fel
 lowship for research in the years 19
 93-1996. Listed among the “World’s T
 op 2% Scientists”. From 2023 to pres
 ent Member of the “Commissione Grand
 i Rischi” of the Italian Civil Prote
 ction – Tsunami Section.\n
