Traditional monitoring approaches are unlikely to provide the level of detail required to advance our understanding and description of the underlying physical processes and mechanisms for both technical and economical limitations (Manfreda and McCabe, 2019).…
Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems can access hazardous or inaccessible areas during disaster events and provide rapid response. This is the first book that brings together the best practices of sUAS applied to a broad range…
Since the turn of the 21st Century, image based velocimetry techniques have become an increasingly popular approach for determining open-channel flow in a range of hydrological settings across Europe, and beyond. Simultaneously, a range of large-scale image…
Il monitoraggio rappresenta la principale fonte di conoscenza nelle scienze ambientali. I recenti progressi nelle tecnologie nell’ambito dell’Osservazione della Terra offrono molteplici possibilità per il monitoring e la tutela ambientale. I Sistemi Aeromobili a Pilotaggio…
In recent years, the acquisition of data from multiple sources, together with improvements in computational capabilities, has allowed to improve our understanding on natural hazard through new approaches based on machine learning and Big Data…
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to contribute to a Special Issue in the journal Remote Sensing is dedicated to UAS-based studies focusing on environmental monitoring. Particularly, we welcome contributions with: Added…
Root zone soil moisture (RZSM) affects many natural processes and is an important component of environmental modeling, but it is expensive and challenging to monitor for relatively small spatial extents. Satellite datasets offer ample spatial…
L’intervista di T3 Innovation Basilicata – Link In Basilicata è nota l’attenzione per i sistemi di monitoraggio ambientale e la prevenzione dei rischi idrogeologici considerando l’articolata costituzione geografica del territorio. Oltre alle tecniche di telerilevamento…
The scour at bridge foundations caused by supercritical flows is reviewed and knowledge gaps are analyzed focusing on the flow and scour patterns, on available measuring techniques for laboratory and field, and on physical and…
La sottomissione degli Abstracts per le Giornate dell’Idrologia della SII 2019 è stata posticipata al 27 luglio. La Società Idrologica Italiana (SII) festeggia questo anno i suoi 10 anni dalla fondazione avvenuta il 25 settembre…
A detailed delineation of flood-prone areas over large regions represents a challenge that cannot be easily solved with today’s resources. The main limitations lie in algorithms and hardware, but also costs, scarcity and sparsity of data and our incomplete knowledge of how inundation events…
Small unmanned aerial systems (UASs) equipped with an optical camera are a cost-effective strategy for topographic surveys. These low-cost UASs can provide useful information for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction even if they are equipped with a…
Workshop “Standardization of procedures in using UAS for environmental monitoring” Date: 6 November, 2019 Venue: Department of Civil Engineering, University of Coimbra (Coimbra, Portugal) We are pleased to inform that the next Workshop of the…
Environmental monitoring plays a central role in diagnosing climate and management impacts on natural and agricultural systems; enhancing the understanding of hydrological processes; optimizing the allocation and distribution of water resources; and assessing, forecasting, and…
River monitoring is a critical issue for hydrological modelling that relies strongly on the use of flow rating curves (FRCs). In most cases, these functions are derived by least-squares fitting which usually leads to good…
