We had the great pleasure to meet, during our COST Action – HARMONIOUS General Assembly in Debrecen, the StoolTechnologies that has developed a new UAS with a payload of about 70kg and a fly autonomy of 1 hour. The new…
This set of three documents represents a blueprint of an Operations Manual for UAS operations (OM) in Environmental Studies targeting environmental studies, accompanied by an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) and an example of UAS operation description and risk assessment…
Soil moisture (SM) is a connective hydrological variable between the Earth’s surface and atmosphere and affects various climatological processes. Surface soil moisture (SSM) is a key component for addressing energy and water exchanges and can…
Measuring object displacement and deformation in image sequences is an important task in remote sensing, photogrammetry and computer vision and a vast number of approaches have been introduced. In the field of environmental sciences, applications…
University of Debrecen, Hungary Detailed program of the Workshop 08:30 – 09:30 Registration 09:30-09:50: László Bertalan, Brigitta Tóth: Welcome from local organizers09:50-10:05: Salvatore Manfreda – The achievements HARMONIOUS COST Action10:05-10:25: Plenary talk: Francesco Nex – Towards real-time UAV mapping: example, challenges and…
In recent years, extreme rainfall events are increasing both in number and intensity, but it is hard to identify specific trends and dynamics at regional level due to the strong variability of this process in…
Considering this year’s meeting situation, the organizing team has decided it is necessary to post-pone the event by one year to ensure for all participants a successful, safe on-site meeting and good travel conditions. The…
Extreme rainfall events are increasing in both number and intensity at global scale; however, it is hard to quantify the impact of climate change at local scale given the strong temporal and spatial heterogeneity of…
The inherent biases of different long-term gridded surface soil moisture (SSM) products, unconstrained by the in situ observations, implies different spatio-temporal patterns. In this study, the Random Forest (RF) model was trained to predict SSM…
University of Naples Federico II and University of Thessaly are organizing the 5th EWaS (Efficient Water Systems) International Conference on “Water Security and Safety Management: emerging threats or new challenges? Moving from Therapy and Restoration to Prognosis and Prevention”.…
The geomorphic flood index (GFI) method provides a good representation of flood-prone areas. However, the method does not account for floodwater transfers in undefined interbasins (UIBs), which represent intercluded small basins along the coastline likely…
UAS-based surveys and structure from motion (SfM) can lead to extraordinary and realistic 3D models to preserve our cultural heritage. In our recent applications, our members are developing new strategies to build extremely detailed point…
The Department of Topography and Cartography of the Technical University of Madrid hosted our work group meeting of COST Action – HARMONIOUS from 27 up to the 30 of October. During this meeting the WG1 finalized the…
While the availability and affordability of unmanned aerial systems (UASs) has led to the rapid development of remote sensing applications in hydrology and hydrometry, uncertainties related to such measurements must be quantified and mitigated. The…
Ecosystem complexity is among the important drivers of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and unmanned aerial systems (UASs) are becoming an important tool for characterizing vegetation patterns and processes. The variety of UASs applications is immense,…
