Piñera’s second term: Can he revive Chile? A case of the global conservative turn
(2018)For decades, Chile combined democracy with economic success. In the spring, the Chileans voted overwhelmingly for Sebastián Piñera, a rich businessman, to lead its country. What does it mean for the economy? How will it ... -
Analysis of movement rates and their association with precipitation and snow melt patterns: an example from the Corvara landslide, Italy
(2019)Landslides constitute serious geohazards in many hilly and mountainous regions and pose an important landscape forming process in South Tyrol, Italy. It is well recognized that water influx, originating from precipitation ... -
Exploiting Time Series of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Imagery to Detect Meadow Phenology in Mountain Regions
(2019)A synergic integration of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and optical time series offers an unprecedented opportunity in vegetation phenology monitoring for mountain agriculture management. In this paper, we performed a ... -
Implementation of a mechanical CPR device in a physician staffed HEMS – a prospective observational study
(2018)In this prospective, observational study we describe the incidence and characteristics of out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases who received mechanical CPR, after the implementation of a mechanical CPR device (LUCAS ... -
Accidental hypothermia in recreational activities in the mountains: a narrative review

TITAN AS REVEALED BY THE CASSINI RADAR
(2019)Titan was a mostly unknown world prior to the Cassini spacecraft’s arrival in July 2004. We review the major scientific advances made by Cassini’s Titan Radar Mapper (RADAR) during 13 years of Cassini’s exploration of ... -
Estimating tree species diversity from space in an alpine conifer forest: The Rao's Q diversity index meets the spectral variation hypothesis
(2019)Forests cover about 30% of the Earth surface, they are among the most biodiverse terrestrial ecosystems and represent the bulk of many ecological processes and services. The assessment of biodiversity is an important and ... -
On the Automated Mapping of Snow Cover on Glaciers and Calculation of Snow Line Altitudes from Multi-Temporal Landsat Data
(2019)Mapping snow cover (SC) on glaciers at the end of the ablation period provides a possibility to rapidly obtain a proxy for their equilibrium line altitude (ELA) which in turn is a metric for the mass balance. Satellite ... -
A Fractal Algorithm for Surface Roughness Parameters retrieval using Multi -Band/polarization AIRSAR Data
(2019)Surface roughness is an important characteristic in analyzing SAR images and three-dimensional (3D) surfaces that influence the backscattering of electromagnetic waves. This paper proposes an algorithm based on a fractal ... -
