“PREVENIR A project for the development of a flash flood early warning 
system in Argentina”
Dra. Celeste Saulo - Dr. Takemasa Miyoshi
Servicio Meteorológico Nacional - RIKEN Center for Pioneering Research

Flash floods and particularly those affecting densely populated and 
vulnerable areas are an increasing source of concern worldwide. 
Argentina is not an exception since a large part of its population 
living in large cities is exposed to this risk. PREVENIR is a five-year 
project starting in 2022 that promotes the cooperation between Japanese 
and Argentinean research and technical institutions for the development 
of an early warning system for these high societal impact events. 
PREVENIR is a SATREPS project resulting from cooperation with the Japan 
International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Japan Science and 
Technology Agency (JST). PREVENIR contemplates an interdisciplinary 
approach to the problem of flash floods involving different institutions 
from Japan and Argentina (the leading institution in Japan is the RIKEN 
Cluster for Pioneering Research and in Argentina is the National 
Meteorological Service). In this talk, we will describe the projected 
activities including an overview of the technologies and approaches that 
will be developed and implemented as well as a perspective on how this 
project will contribute to the enhancement of our capabilities for 
disaster prevention. These technologies include (but are not limited to) 
the intensive use of Big Data provided by remote sensors, complex 
numerical dynamical models and efficient information communication 
systems. We are looking forward to see you at the seminar!

Dr. Takemasa Miyoshi received his B.S. degree (2000) in theoretical 
physics on nonlinear dynamics from the Kyoto University, and M.S. (2004) 
and Ph.D. (2005) degrees in meteorology on ensemble data assimilation 
from the University of Maryland (UMD). Dr. Takemasa Miyoshi started his 
professional career as a civil servant at the Japan Meteorological 
Agency (JMA) in 2000. He was a tenure-track Assistant Professor at UMD 
in 2011. Since 2012, Dr. Miyoshi has been leading the Data Assimilation 
Research Team in RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), working 
towards advancing the science of data assimilation with a deep 
commitment to education. Dr. Miyoshi's scientific achievements include 
more than 110 peer-reviewed publications and more than 130 invited 
conference presentations including the Core Science Keynote at the 
American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting (2015). Dr. Miyoshi has 
been recognized by several prestigious awards such as the Yamamoto-Syono 
Award by the Meteorological Society of Japan (2008), the Young 
Scientists' Prize by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science 
and Technology (2014), the Japan Geosciences Union Nishida Prize (2015), 
the Meteorological Society of Japan Award (2016) - the highest award of 
the society, the Yomiuri Gold Medal Prize (2018), and the Commendation 
by the Prime Minister for Disaster Prevention (2020).

¡¡Les esperamos!!
