The recovery strategy of second homeowners and tourists after a disaster: insights from the 2016 central Italy earthquakes
(Il Sileno, 2019)Between August and October 2016, 131 municipalities in central Italy were severely hit by a series of earthquakes. Although official data on properties in those municipalities is scant, this area is generally acknowledged ... -
The Climate Crisis In Mediterranean Europe: Cross-Border And Multidisciplinary Issues On Climate Change
(Il Sileno, 2020)The climate crisis in Mediterranean Europe: cross-border and multidisciplinary issues on climate change” collects 8 original essays by different authors concerning socio-environmental issues related to climate change in a ... -
Spatial-Explicit Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments Based on Impact Chains: Findings from a Case Study in Burundi
(2020)Climate change vulnerability assessments are an essential instrument to identify regions most vulnerable to adverse impacts of climate change and to determine appropriate adaptation measures. Vulnerability assessments ... -
Time Series of Sentinel-1 Interferometric Coherence and Backscatter for Crop-Type Mapping
(2020)The potential use of the interferometric coherence measured with Sentinel-1 satellites as input feature for crop classification is explored in this study. A one-year time-series of Sentinel-1 images acquired over an ... -
Climate change fingerprints in recent European plant phenology
(2020)A paper published in Global Change Biology in 2006 revealed that phenological responses in 1971–2000 matched the warming pattern in Europe, but a lack of chilling and adaptation in farming may have reversed these findings. ... -
Forest change as a proxy for landslide occurrence - a Sentinel 2 based spatio-temporal landslide detection approach for two test sites
(2020)Landslides represent a major threat to humans and result in high costs for the society. Landslide inventory maps depict the areas of past slope instabilities and are a valuable information source for authorities, spatial ... -
A novel application of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) in alpine environment for monitoring gravity-driven natural hazards: BLUESLEMON project
(2020)The Project “BLUESLEMON – BT Beacon and Unmanned Aerial System technologies for Landslide Monitoring” is funded by provincial funds of South Tirol Italian Autonomous Province and it is developed with the support of Beacon ... -
Machine-Learning Applications for the Retrieval of Forest Biomass from Airborne P-Band SAR Data
(2020)This study aimed at evaluating the potential of machine learning (ML) for estimating forest biomass from polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. Retrieval algorithms based on two different machine-learning methods, ... -
Performance Evaluation of Phase and Weather-Based Models in Atmospheric Correction With Sentinel-1Data: Corvara Landslide in the Alps
(2020)Phase delay caused by atmospheric effects due to spatial and temporal variations of pressure, temperature, and water vapor content is one of the major error sources in estimation of ground deformation by interferometric ... -
SInCohMap Sentinel-1 Interferometric Coherence for Land Cover Mapping
(2017)At: FRINGE 2017 ; Helsinki ; 05/06/2017 - 09/06/2017 ; In this abstract new ESA SEOM project is presented, which will start in January 2017. The main objective of this research is to develop, analyze and validate novel ... -
SInCohMap: Land Cover Classification and Vegetation Mapping Based on Sentinel-1 Multi-Temporal Interferometric Coherence

(2018)At: ESA Phi-week ; Frascati ; 12/11/2018 - 16/11/2018 ; The Sentinel-1 (S-1) mission defines a whole new playground to explore the limits and potentials of diverse technologies to generate updated and precise global ... -
Participatory Earth Observation Research in the Alps: The Sentinel Alpine Observatory
(2018)At: ESA Phi-week ; Frascati ; 12/11/2018 - 16/11/2018 ; The Alps are amongst the most vulnerable and dynamic regions in Europe with respect to natural hazards, impacts of climate change or pressure on sensitive ecosystems. ... -
Use of Sentinel-1 radar observations to evaluate snowmelt dynamics in alpine regions
(2020)Knowing the timing and the evolution of the snow melting process is very important, since it allows the prediction of (i) the snowmelt onset, (ii) the snow gliding and wet-snow avalanches, (iii) the release of snow ... -
Changes in climate patterns and their association to natural hazard distribution in South Tyrol (Eastern Italian Alps)
(2020)In Alpine regions changes in seasonal climatic parameters, such as temperature, rainfall, and snow amount have already been observed. Specifically, in the South Tyrol area, meteorological observations indicate that ... -
An inventory-driven rock glacier status model (intact vs. relict) for South Tyrol, Eastern Italian Alps
(2020)Ice presence in rock glaciers is a topic that is likely to gain importance in the future due to the expected decrease in water supply from glaciers and the increase of mass movements originating in periglacial areas. This ... -
EXPLOITING THE SYNERGY BETWEEN SENTINEL-1 AND COSMO SKY-MED DATA FOR SNOW MONITORING IN ALPINE AREAS
(2019)The characterization of snow conditions and the estimate of snowpack parameters have been investigated in this paper, by taking into account both C- and X-band SAR data collected from Sentinel-1 (S-1) and Cosmo-SkyMed (CSK) ... -
Evaluating the potential benefit from use of different types of MODIS-based snow cover products on snowmelt runoff modelling using TOPMELT
(2019)This work aims to analyze the benefits of using different types of MODIS snow cover products in snowmelt runoff modelling by means of TOPMELT. With TOPMELT, pixels with similar clear sky radiation and air temperatureare ... -
