Identifying the snow melting dynamics by exploiting the multi-temporal Sentinel-1 backscattering
(2019)Snow plays a key role in the hydrological cycle. Especially in mountain regions such as the Alps, snowmelt is the main responsible of run-off regimes, strongly influencing groundwater storage, flooding, avalanches, and ... -
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 ... -
Detection and Monitoring of Slow Slope Movement using Remote, Proximal and Ground Sensing in Alpine Regions: the ALPSMOTION Project
(2019)Deep-seated gravitational slope deformations as well as permafrost creep (i.e. rock glaciers) represent common geomorphological phenomena in high alpine areas. The systematic observation of changes over time caused by the ... -
Exploiting InSAR and multi-source data to study periglacial environments in the Alps at different space and time scales
(2017)The slope instability in alpine areas is a phenomenon related to superficial landslides, deep-seated gravitational slope deformations and permafrost creep. The systematic monitoring of changes over time caused by the slope ... -
Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) InSARAnalysis Using Sentinel-1 Data for Monitoring Landslide Deformation in the Alps
(2017)New generations of radar satellites (e.g. TerraSAR-X, Cosmo-SkyMed, Sentinel-1A/B) with short repeat-pass cycles and high spatial resolutions have enhanced the capabilities for acquiring data over large areas shortly after ... -
Cascading hazard risk assessment of a rockslide dam outburst flood in an alpine river basin
(2017)Earthquakes and heavy precipitation events represent the main triggering factors of mass movements such as landslides, rockslides or debris flows. The overall hazard potential is increased significantly if the mass ... -
INTEGRATION OF REMOTE SENSING WITH A HYDROCLIMATOLOGICAL MODEL FOR AN IMPROVED MONITORING OF ALPINE GLACIERS
(2018)In this work, we present a framework to integrate physically based hydroclimatological models and remote sensing products, by exploiting their advantages and overcoming their limitations, for an improved understanding and ... -
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 ... -
The Vulnerability Sourcebook. Standardised vulnerability and risk assessments to support adaptation planning and evaluation
(2018)Most National Determined Contributions (NDC) include adaptation goals. To support this process and to use adaptation finance effeffectively, there is an increasing need for practical tools that can support the planning, ... -
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 ... -
Remote sensing based comprehensive monitoring of land cover change in protected areas
(2017)Land cover changes - due to climate or land use change - are a common challenge for the management of protected areas. Over the last decades, large parts of the European Alps have experienced forest expansion and shrub ... -
Cosmic Ray Neutron sensing in complex systems
(2018)Soil moisture is a key variable in environmental monitoring and modelling: being located at the soil-atmosphere boundary, it is a driving force for water, energy and carbon fluxes. Nevertheless its importance, ... -
Design of a low-cost and open-source sensor node for landslide monitoring oriented to IoT early warning system: a case of study in alpine areas
(2018)The concept of Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining increasing attention, in particular because of the continuous investments in telecommunication services and the development of new miniaturized systems. Nowadays, it is ... -
Beyond the Expected – Dealing with the Case of Overload and Residual Risk of Natural Hazards in the Alpine Region
(2018)An integrated and interdisciplinary management of the risks associated with natural hazards has become most widely standard in the Alps. Integrated risk management (IRM) can be seen as crucial part of the overarching concept ... -
Sentinel-2-based annual forest changes across the European Alps
(2018)Forest covers more than 40% of the European Alps and fulfills an important role in protecting against avalanches and rockslides. Forest changes are often small-scaled, but fundamental for forest management to assess the ... -
A Near Real Time Monitoring System for Alpine and Mountain Regions
(2017)Multispectral sensors at medium resolution are characterized by large coverage and frequent revisit times and are useful to describe features of the land, cryosphere and atmosphere that can be used for studies of status ...
