Ground deformation affecting the Umbria region (central Italy) in the 9-year period from 1992 to 2000 was investigated through multi-temporal Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (DInSAR). For the purpose, the Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) technique was adopted, which allows studying the temporal evolution of the detected deformation at two spatial scales_ a low-resolution (regional) scale, and a full-resolution (local) scale. For the analysis, SAR data acquired by the European Remote Sensing (ERS-1/2) satellites along ascending and descending orbits were used. The detected deformation was analysed to investigate its relevance to geophysical, geomorphologic, and human-induced processes that may result in hazardous conditions to the population of Umbria. Low-resolution deformation data were used to_ (i) determine the amount of displacement caused by the Umbria-Marche earthquake sequence from September 1997 to April 1998 in the Foligno area, (ii) determine the number and percentage of the known landslides that can be monitored by the DInSAR technology in the investigated area, and (iii) identify and measure subsidence induced by exploitation of a confined aquifer in the Valle Umbra. Results indicate that earthquakes moved through the Foligno area westwards up to 3.9 cm and with an uplift reaching 1.7 cm. Intersection in a GIS of the low-resolution deformation maps with a detailed landslide inventory map allowed the determination that the portion of landslides that can be monitored by the SBAS-DInSAR technique in Umbria ranges from 2.7% to 3.4%, and the percentage of the total landslide area ranges from 10.4% to 12.8%. In the Valle Umbra, a dependency was found between the time and the amount of detected ground deformation, and the record of water withdrawal. The full-resolution deformation data were used to investigate the movement of the Ivancich landslide, in the Assisi Municipality. Joint analysis of the spatial and the temporal characteristics of the ground displacement allowed the formulation of a hypothesis on the landslide geometry and deformation pattern.

Experimentally derived particle size distribution often shown multimodal shape and this characteristic is usually interpreted as a mixture of two or more populations. The origin of these mixture has been commonly interpreted as due to the complex processes linked to the origin of the sediment ad clasts , to the transport and final deposition, or in other terms, the geological cycle of sediment transport and evolution, the weathering and pedogenenetic process may affect the final distribution of particles present in the sampled deposit.
The basic idea that the all the processes responsible of the deposit leave some trace of them in the special characteristics of the mixture and their populations. We assume that the mixture maintain encoded in its global distribution informations
Aim of DECOLOG software is develop a solution to decode the information present in the natural mixture of particles/sediments using, as paradigm, the log-normal distribution and particularly a defined mixture of these distributions.
Decolog performs this operation using innovative techniques of optimization and in automatic way without needs of special efforts from user as the initial guessing of Peaks of the observed distribution .....
The easiness of use is one of the most innovative and appreciated characteristics of current version of DECOLOG

Population growth, urbanization and global climate change have increased urban and agricultural water demands, stressing aquifer systems where groundwater is a source of water supply. The availability and utility of groundwater may further be threatened by factors stressing the quality of groundwater, such as industrial and domestic wastes and agricultural intensification. Consequences include, for example, over-allocation of groundwater, groundwater overdraft, declining well yields and land subsidence; degraded groundwater quality due to mobilization of natural pollutants (arsenic), salt contamination caused by seawater intrusion; increased demand for conjunctively used surface water, and resulting conflicts with junior users; and streamflow capture and resulting damage to ecosystems. These consequences may occur incrementally and inequitably across an aquifer. Natural environmental problems can further complicate use of groundwater and increase strain on the aquifer system; for example, underground structures, geothermal heating (such as heat islands), and geochemical evolution (such as karst formation, excessive salinity, acidity, fluoride, radioactivity, hardness, or turbidity).
To address this issue, a joint symposium on the Trends and Sustainability of Groundwater in Highly Stressed Aquifers was held during the 8th Scientific Assembly of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, IAHS, and the 37th Congress of the International Association of Hydrogeology, IAH, in Hyderabad, India, September 2009. The symposium was organized by the IAHS International Commission on Groundwater (ICGW), supported IAH and by the IAHS International Commission on Water Quality (ICWQ).
This symposium brought together scientists, including modellers, geochemists and hydro-geologists, with water supply managers and policy makers to discuss scientific and management ideas and approaches for improving the sustainability of highly stressed aquifers. The importance of this topic was reflected in the large number of contributions to the symposium. Selected papers from this symposium have been compiled in this volume.

In Italy, the Central Apennines are characterized by significant seismic
activity. In this region, individual earthquakes and prolonged seismic sequences produce
considerable ground effects, including landslides. In this work, we attempt a comparison of
the distribution, types and abundance of slope failures produced by two recent seismic
sequences in central Italy_ (i) the September 1997 - April 1998, Umbria-Marche sequence,
and (ii) the December 2008 - July 2009 (ongoing), L'Aquila sequence. Preliminary results
indicate that significant similarities exist between the mass movements produced by the
two earthquake sequences. Both sequences produced chiefly rock falls, topples and minor
rock slides. The distribution of the slope failures matches the macroseismic intensity fields.
For the L'Aquila earthquake, slope failures are most numerous in the area where surface
deformation was largest. For both earthquake sequences, the number of slope failures
decreases with increasing distance from the earthquake epicenters. The decay in the
number of failures with the distance from the epicenters is approximate by an exponential
law.

This work presents first results of interferometric processing of ALOS PALSAR Single Look Complex SAR images (Stripmap Single Polarization Mode), concerning ground deformations in the Wieliczka Salt Mine area, a few km from Cracow, Poland. It follows a recent Persistent Scatterers SAR Interferometry (PSI) analysis on this area, obtained by processing several tens of ERS satellite images covering the period 1992-2000. The results revealed the presence of a few kilometres long, slowly subsiding zone corresponding very well to the extent of the underground salt mine. The present work aims to extend the analysis by exploiting ALOS-PALSAR data especially for the neighbouring rural areas, relying on the lower sensitivity to temporal decorrelation of L-band w.r.t. C-band radar data. Use of L band data is of interest because it could allow detecting faster ground movements related to sudden subsidence events that have occasionally occurred in the recent past. One such event, reported in the 1990's, caused ground displacements locally exceeding 3 m. Furthermore, with L-band SAR data some useful information can be obtained for the rural areas, which neighbour the salt mine but lack PS. We present results obtained from Fine Beam, HH Single Polarization Mode (FBS), 34.3° Off-Nadir look-angle SAR images. The night acquisition time of FBS PALSAR images mitigates the atmospheric phase screen in each interferogram. No clear evidence of displacements is found on ALOS interferograms spanning about 1 year. The relatively high coherence shown by the interferograms allows easier unwrapping of the differential interferometric phase, aiding further statistical investigations on the spatial properties of the atmospheric signal. We also present considerations concerning some processing aspects of ALOS data, as well as a preliminary comparison between the L-band and C-band differential interferometric phase behaviour.

Per evento di dissesto idrogeologico (EDId) si intende, in questa nota, quello determinato dall'innesco e dall'evoluzione, in un definito intervallo di tempo, di un numero significativo di fenomeni di dissesto idrogeologico. L'EDId che nell'autunno-inverno 2008-2009 ha interessato la Calabria ha prodotto effetti rilevanti su insediamenti abitativi e reti infrastrutturali. Nella nota sono presentate le indicazioni conoscitive e metodologiche desunte dalle prime attività speditive svolte in corso di evento, da novembre 2008 a gennaio 2009. Dopo una sintetica disamina dei fattori predisponenti e degli scenari di innesco pluviometrico degli EDId, sono illustrati i risultati dei rilievi condotti in alcuni settori del territorio regionale, la cui scelta è stata anche orientata dall'analisi delle segnalazioni di fenomeni e/o danni riportate in una testata giornalistica
a diffusione regionale. Lo scenario pluviometrico d'innesco dell'EDId studiato è risultato meno gravoso rispetto a quello che nel 1951-1952 produsse un EDId notoriamente catastrofico, mentre, in vaste aree della regione, si è manifestato con apporti di pioggia più elevati rispetto ad altri EDId del passato. I fenomeni franosi superficiali hanno svolto il ruolo principale nella generazione dell'EDId essendo quelli più frequentemente osservati. Le attività svolte in corso di evento hanno consentito di verificare le connessioni tra risultati scientifici ed applicativi, evidenziandone gli sfasamenti temporali necessari, ed hanno fornito utili indicazioni conoscitive e metodologiche, dando conferma delle potenzialità scientifiche degli studi e di supporto alle decisioni.
