This set of three documents represents a blueprint of an Operations Manual for UAS operations (OM) targeting environmental studies, accompanied by an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) and an example of UAS operation description and risk assessment according to JARUS SORA…
Do not miss the Webinar organised by Drones MDPI on Drones in Geographical Applications!!! Webinar will be coordinated by George P. Petropoulos and it will include the following talks: Unmanned Aerial Systems for Monitoring Soil, Vegetation, and River Systems…
Dear Friend and Colleagues, Recent years have been filled with numerous and intense collaborations and relevant achievements. As we come to the end of the year, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on…
The use of multispectral satellite imagery for water monitoring is a fast and cost-effective method that can benefit from the growing availability of medium–high-resolution and free remote sensing data. Since the 1970s, multispectral satellite imagery…
Dear Colleagues, Soil Moisture (SM) is a vital element in the hydrological cycle and land–atmosphere interactions. Quantification of SM and its spatiotemporal variability is valuable for understanding water availability in agriculture, ecosystem states, river basin…
Satellite remote sensing is a highly valuable data source useful in the monitoring of surface water dynamics and an essential tool in flood risk management although several factors can interfere with the detection of water…
In the present work, the use of optical cameras for turbidity measurements is tested on the Bode River in Germany, which is one of the best-instrumented catchments in Central Germany with a long-term time series…
This study suggests a rapid methodology to delineate areas prone to flood using machine learning techniques. Based on available historically flooded areas, the model employs and combines globally collectible and reproducible conditioning factors to analyze…
The design of hydraulic structures needs to account for a trade-off between implementation costs and flood damages, as well as for the impacts on basins hydrological responses over a wide spectrum of events. In this…
We are promoting a Special Issue on River Monitoring with the aim to provide an overview of the most advanced research activities in this field. The aim of the present Special Issue is to promote…
VISION is open-source software written in MATLAB for video stabilisation using automatic features detection. It can be applied for any use, but it has been developed mainly for image velocimetry applications in rivers. It includes…
The identification of the second-order dependence structure of streamflow has been one of the oldest challenges in hydrological sciences, dating back to the pioneering work of H.E Hurst on the Nile River. Since then, several…
I’m proud to announce that our recent paper “Current Practices in UAS-based Environmental Monitoring” has been awarded with the Best Paper Award 2022 by Remote Sensing MDPI. This paper has been the result of a joint…
DICEA of University Federico II is promoting the 3rd edition of the Mediterranean PhD Short School on “From sustainable to regenerative and resilient design”, which is scheduled from 10th to 15th of October 2022 in…
We are looking for very motivated and talented candidates for a Ph.D. scholarship on “Monitoring of water quality of natural rivers exploiting image processing techniques” (CU1.14) at Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II within…
