Studio e monitoraggio dei processi idrologici

From 01/01/2016 to 31/12/2020

Background L’IRPI è da molti anni impegnato nel monitoraggio di variabili idrologiche (umidità del suolo, pioggia, portata e velocità dei corsi d’acqua) che è risultato fondamentale per la rappresentazione del…

Preventive evaluation of land instability hazards

From 01/01/2016 to 31/12/2020

Background The urbanisation of seismically active areas, coupled with the ongoing change in climate patterns, require a shift in the approaches to land/infrastructure instability hazard assessment and risk reduction. This…

Hydrological monitoring and prediction of shallow landslides through remote sensing observations

Background Rainfall-induced shallow landslides and floods are the most common and dangerous natural hazards, mainly due to their high temporal frequency, which causes fatalities and high economic damage worldwide. Climate…

Radar remote sensing techniques for the detection and measurements of ground surface deformations

From 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2019

Background 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…

Kinematic of debris flows using Large Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV)

From 06/02/2015 to 15/01/2016

Background Usually the video cameras installed within a debris-flow monitoring site have the role of recording videos to better understand the behavior of the event for an improved interpretation of…

Geo-hydrological hazards in the Pogliaschina catchment

From 12/09/2012 to 11/07/2013

Background The occurrence of flash floods in mountainous catchments is often associated to relevant geomorphic effects, both in the channel network (channel changes and transport of large wood), and on…

Landslide Early Warning Integrated System

From 01/03/2002 to 31/08/2005

Background The focus on landslides results from the recognition that in many European countries slope instabilities affect urbanized areas and are a major threat to populations. Through the integration of…
