Hydrogeological Risk Assessment, Monitoring and Prevention
The thematic area deals with the assessment, monitoring and prevention of hazards and risk related to rainfall induced landslides, floods and morphological effects to the rivers, mass transfer phenomena along the secondary drainage network, sediments cascade from the hillslopes to the channels and the stability of earth embankments and levees. It involves field and remote-sensing supported mapping, site investigation (geomorphological, geognostic and geophysical), slope movements monitoring (with in-situ or remote sensing methods, including Offset Tracking of multitemporal UAV and Satellite datasets), morphological changes in the river corridors analysis, sediment dynamic monitoring, coastal instability analysis, GIS-based susceptibility assessment, deterministic slope stability analysis, definition of rainfall - landslides relationships, planning of structural and non structural prevention and mitigation measures.
