From population risk perception to social vulnerability in coastal areas subject to climate change: a proposal for risk management strategies in two Mediterranean regions
Coastal areas are particularly sensitive to climate change. Because these areas have become particularly susceptible to extreme physical phenomena because of a significant increase in human pressure, climate change will cause heightened exposure and vulnerability of the population. The Authorities ought to make strong efforts to: i) take the necessary measures and actions to reduce the negative impacts of the natural phenomena on the coastal ... Radar remote sensing techniques for the detection and measurements of ground surface deformations
Space-borne radar interferometry or DInSAR (Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) is one of the latest techniques used for the detection and measurement of ground surface deformations caused by natural and / or man-made events. The DInSAR technique has been successfully used in the measurement of seismic deformations and of the effects of subsidence, unstable slopes and inflation of magma in volcanoes. The growth of space ... La ricerca idrogeologica italiana per la gestione sostenibile delle acque sotterranee di Malta
Dal sito del CNR una news riguardante l’Accordo di Cooperazione “Formulation of a framework to guide the development of a numerical groundwater model to estimate the sustainable yield of the mean sea level aquifer system” tra l'IRPI-CNR e il Sustainable Energy And Water Conservation Unit (SEWCU) del Ministry for Energy and Health (MEH) della Repubblica di ... STSE Water Cycle Multi-mission Observation Strategy for the Mediterranean
Monitoring the water cycle from satellite observations is one of the major goals of the EO community and closing the water budget has been a long-standing objective of international programs. After years of hard work, calibrating satellite data, improving inversion techniques, and facilitating the coherency of retrievals, it is admitted that the water cycle budget can now be ... Landslide hazard in coastal areas: the natural laboratory of the Malta island
The research project can be included within the context of increasing hydrogeological instability also due to climate change and aims at investigating coastal instability in the island of Malta. This aspect has been until now slightly dealt with, despite significant risk issues, as evidenced from a series of accidents/damages recorded after landslide ... Vulnerability maps for monitoring and management of groundwater resources in the Archimed area
The project considered the strong demand of local institutions to select the best existing practices, in relation to different national and local characteristics, considering the regulatory ...
