Harmonized European long-term climate data for assessing the effect of changing temporal variability on land-atmosphere CO2 fluxes
(2014)Temporal variability of meteorological variables and extreme weather events is projected to increase in many regions of the world during the next century. Artificial experiments using process-oriented terrestrial ecosystem ... -
Il progetto GreenRisk4Alps: Misure "verdi" per la gestione dei rischi naturali sulle Alpi
(2019)GreenRisk4ALPs: towards the implementation of ecosystem-based solutions for risk management in the Alps. Forests and mountain ecosystems play a crucial role in the mitigation of risks deriving from natural hazards in the ... -
Influence of physiological phenology on the seasonal pattern of ecosystem respiration in deciduous forests
(2015)Understanding the environmental and biotic drivers of respiration at the ecosystem level is a prerequisite to further improve scenarios of the global carbon cycle. In this study we investigated the relevance of physiological ... -
Integrated Assessment for Vulnerability to Climate Change in Germany: A Brief Overview of Methodology and Results
(2016)Within the scope of the German Adaptation Strategy (DAS), a standardized, cross-sector assessment of current and future climate change impacts and vulnerabilities for Germany was carried out from 2011to 2015. For this ... -

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 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 ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ... -
A new classification of earthquake-induced landslide event sizes based on seismotectonic, topographic, climatic and geologic factors
(2016)This paper reviews the classical and some particular factors contributing to earthquake-triggered landslide activity. This analysis should help predict more accurately landslide event sizes, both in terms of potential ... -
A Novel Hybrid Method for the Correction of the Theoretical Model Inversion in Bio/Geophysical Parameter Estimation
(2016)This paper presents a novel hybrid method to the estimation of bio/geophysical parameters, which models and corrects deviations from correct target values when theoretical electromagnetic models are used for the inversion ... -
A novel Multilevel Biodiversity Index (MBI) for combined field and satellite imagery surveys
(2018)In an epoch of fast and dramatic changes in ecosystems, a complete survey of biodiversity and an analysis of its spatial patterns from the field shall be associated with satellite imagery, which can provide a synoptic ... -
Numerical study of tides in Ontario Lacus, a hydrocarbon lake on the surface of the Saturnian moon Titan
(2016)In the context of the emergence of extra-terrestrial oceanography, we adapted an existing oceanographic model, SLIM (www.climate.be/slim), to the conditions of Titan, a moon of Saturn. The tidal response of the largest ... -
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 ... -
On the relationship between ecosystem-scale hyperspectral reflectance and CO2 exchange in European mountain grasslands
(2015)In this paper we explore the skill of hyperspectral reflectance measurements and vegetation indices (VIs) derived from these in estimating carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes of grasslands. Hyperspectral reflectance data, CO2 ... -
Organizing earth observation data inside a spatial data infrastructure
(2017)Scientists as well public institutions dealing with geospatial data often work with a large amount of heterogeneous data deriving from different sources. Without a well-defined, organized structure they face problems in ... -
A Pol-SAR Analysis for Alpine Glacier Classification and Snowline Altitude Retrieval
(2016)In this study, we investigated the use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarimetry (Pol-SAR) and a supervised classification technique, support vector machine (SVM), for the classification of bare soil, ice, and snow, ...
