Interannual and subseasonal rock glacier displacement by exploiting different SAR techniques
(2018)Active rock glaciers are slow-moving, permafrost landforms that characterize high mountain periglacial terrains. Their complex movement, with interannual and subseasonal rhythms, are of interest for interpreting the evolution ... -
Klimareport Südtirol
(EURAC research, 2011)Der 'Klimareport Südtirol' ist das Ergebnis einer dreijährigen Forschungsarbeit, die von Wissenschaftlern der EURAC-Institute für Angewandte Fernerkundung, Alpine Umwelt, Regionalentwicklung und Standortmanagement und ... -
Klimareport Südtirol 2018
(Eurac Research, 2018)Mehr als 20 Wissenschaftler von Eurac Research - Klimaforscher, Biologen, Soziologen und Ingenieure - haben über ein Jahr lang Daten gesammelt und ausgewertet. Dabei arbeiteten sie eng mit mehr als 30 Experten der öffentlichen ... -
Kommunikation durch Geoinformation und GIS in der Naturgefahren- und Risikoanalyse: Möglichkeiten und Grenzen am Beispiel gravitativer Massenbewegungen
(Verlag Österreich GmbH, 2018)Umgangssprachlich kann der Begriff „Kommunikation“ als Übertragung bzw. Austausch von Information in sprachlicher, schriftlicher oder bildlicher Form verstanden werden. Im Kontext von Naturgefahren ist die Rolle der ... -
Lake outburst and debris flow disaster at Kadarnathin June 2013: Hydrometereological triggering and topographic predisposition
(2015)Among the more complex and devastating interactions between climate and hydromorphological processes in mountain environments are landslide lake outburst floods (LLOFs), resulting from mass movements temporarily blocking ... -
Landslide Monitoring with Multi-Sensor and Temporal Scale Approaches: A Test Site in Alpine Environment
(2017)Landslides in alpine environment are present as earthflows, rock falls, shallow slides, debris flows, among others. The dynamics of the surface deformations have many causes, among them the inner geomorphological processes, ... -
Landslide susceptibility: a statistically-based assessment on a depositional pyroclastic ramp
(2019)This study aimed to produce a high-quality landslide susceptibility map for Teziutlán municipality, a landslide-prone region in Mexico, which is characterised by a depositional pyroclastic ramp. The heterogeneous quality ... -
Linking animal movement and remote sensing – mapping resource suitability from a remote sensing perspective
(2017)Optical remote sensing is an important tool in the study of animal behaviorproviding ecologists with the means to understand species–environment interactions in combination with animal movement data. However, differences ... -
Managing Complex Systems: The Need to Structure Qualitative Data
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018)This chapter empirically shows how rigorous and transparent methods can be used to both maintain the integrity of 'softer' data while including it in 'holistic' assessments. It also shows that 'messiness' can be resolved ... -
A Methodology for Heterogeneous Sensor Data Organization and Near Real-Time Data Sharing by Adopting OGC SWE Standards
(2019)Finding a solution to collect, analyze, and share, in near real-time, data acquired by heterogeneous sensors, such as traffic, air pollution, soil moisture, or weather data, represents a great challenge. This paper describes ... -
Methods for integrative research on community resilience to multiple hazards, with examples from Italy and England
(2014)Resilience is a framework widely used to help address questions in disaster risk reduction (DRR) research, policy and practice. There is increasing demand for understanding this at the community scale. The paper builds on ... -
A Model Driven Approach for Snow Wetness Retrieval with Sentinel-l
(2018)In this paper, a novel approach for the retrieval of snow wetness is presented for Sentinel-1 (S-1) data. The approach uses the information on snow proprieties provided by the hydroclimatological model AMUNDSEN and confirmed ... -
Monitoring daily evapotranspiration in the Alps exploiting Sentinel-2 and meteorological data
(2018)The lack of satellite data with high spatial resolution (< 100 m) and temporal frequency (< daily) has long limited the modelling of spatially explicit evapotranspiration (ET) for supporting the management of ... -
The most recent view of vulnerability
(Publications Office of the European Union, 2017)Disaster risk is determined by the combination of physical hazards and the vulnerabilities of exposed elements. Vulnerability relates to the susceptibility of assets such as objects, systems (or part thereof) and populations ... -
Multi-hazard and multi-risk in mountains: applying the IPCC-AR5 concept in practice
(2018)While most hazards have been critically scrutinised for many years, research about the interaction of multiple hazards and the assessment of related risks is still in its infancy. This limitation may have substantial ... -
Multi-risk assessment in mountain regions: A review of modelling approaches for climate change adaptation
(2019)Climate change has already led to a wide range of impacts on our society, the economy and the environment. According to future scenarios, mountain regions are highly vulnerable to climate impacts, including changes in the ... -
Multi-temporal and Multi-source Alpine Glacier Cover Classification
(2017)This work presents a multi-temporal and multi-source approach for glacier cover classification, i.e. bare soil, glacier ice, firn, and snow. The method is based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) ... -
Multi-Temporal X-Band Radar Interferometry Using Corner Reflectors: Application and Validation at the Corvara Landslide (Dolomites, Italy)
(2017)From the wide range of methods available to landslide researchers and practitioners for monitoring ground displacements, remote sensing techniques have increased in popularity. Radar interferometry methods with their ability ...
