Very small glaciers (<0.5 km2) account for more than 80% of the total number and 15% glacier area in European Alps. This study seeks to better understand impact extreme snowfall events on resilience very ice patches southeastern Alps, an with highest mean annual precipitation entire Alpine chain. Mean here is up 3300 mm water equivalent, winter snow accumulation approximately 6.80 m at 1800 asl averaged over period 1979–2018. As a consequence, ice/firn are still present this rather low...
The advantages derived from the use of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are well-established: they cost-effective and easy to use. There numerous environmental applications, particularly when monitoring contexts characterized by rapid morphological changes high rates sediment transport, such as coastal areas. In this paper, three different case studies survey with resolution accuracy obtained through UAVs presented; these concern transgressive sites. Results allow for definition...
This study investigates the application of a terrestrial structure from motionmulti-view stereo (SfM-MVS) approach combined with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys for monitoring surface topographic change two permanent ice deposits in caves located Julian Alps (south-eastern European Alps). method allows accurate calculation both seasonal and annual mass balance, estimating amount inside caves. The ground-based SfM represents low-cost workflow very limited logistical problems...
The use of non-invasive methodologies is becoming essential for archaeological research, and ground penetrating radar one the most important techniques to obtain high resolution information. In this paper we present analysis a full 3-D GPR dataset integrated with high-resolution photogrammetric survey acquired in Roman site located Aquileia (Northeast Italy) within partially excavated area known as “Fondo Pasqualis”. We evaluated importance dense accurate data collection processing signal...
A practical tool for coastal data spatial cataloguing based on sediment budget computation is herein proposed and discussed, using a modified version of the Littoral Cells Management System (SICELL) originally created by Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy.For management purposes, geodatabase Veneto coast has been constructed, that includes 77 sedimentary units or cells, described physicalmorphological, evolutionary, land-use pressure defences data.Each littoral cell basically identified more...
While beach erosion and sand loss are typically of great concern to the tourism industry, managing rapid morphological changes linked large amounts moving sediments is challenge facing Grado, an important seaside resort in northern Adriatic, Italy. The cause unusual management conflict presence Mula di Muggia Bank, a nearshore depositional system made up relict active migrating sandbanks extending 2 km seawards from touristic beachfront. A reconstruction morpho-sedimentary evolution coastal...
Small glaciers of temperate mountain regions are suffering significant reduction, with ice mass losses reaching unprecedented melt rates in the very last years. On other hand, several glacial bodies experienced increasing debris inputs since end Little Ice Age, transitioning from rather clean to debris-covered and, sometimes, rock glaciers. Here we present recent surface elevation change (2006–2022) Popera Alto glacier, a small glacier Sesto Dolomites (S-E European Alps), retrieved...
&lt;p&gt;The monitoring of landslides using UAVs is particularly convenient as these are dangerous areas that present access difficulties. This study aims to integrate carried out via traditional techniques (GNSS and total station surveys benchmarks) with UAV photogrammetric survey, the latter allows for a precise assessment volumes affected by movement. The Masarach landslide, located in Friuli Venezia Giulia (north east Italy), covers an area approximately 200 ha. Two were two...
In order to test a procedure for sustainable management of sediment in Marano and Grado Lagoon, consisting dredging the Coron channel disposal deeper part same channel, an impact assessment turbidity resuspension has been carried out, by means Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler surveys, suspended particulate matter collection placement traps.Dredging operations cause alteration water turbidity, generating plumes that are driven tidal currents within persist column hours.Tidal flats next...
&lt;p&gt;Photogrammetric surveys from UAV and LiDAR are two techniques that allow for the production of very high resolution point clouds. The use these result in a detailed reconstruction difficult-to-access environments such as underground cavities. A rigorous georeferencing acquired data allows comparison hypogean development cave to overlying territory. This study presents case integration between techniques, applied risk assessment collapse vaults natural cavity Trieste Karst...
