Abstract Question Remote sensing is a fundamental tool to monitor biodiversity and spectral diversity may represent proxy for different facets such as taxonomic (TD) functional (FD). We used fine‐resolution multispectral imagery explore (SD) patterns across spatial scales (i.e., plot, transect, area), assess SD relationships with TD FD along an environmental gradient. Location Coastal sand dune, Viareggio, Italy (“Migliarino–San Rossore–Massaciuccoli” Regional Park, 43°83′ N, 10°25′ E)....
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...
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...
The latest progress in deep learning approaches has garnered significant attention across a variety of research fields. These techniques have revolutionized the way marine parameters are measured, enabling automated and remote data collection. This work centers on employing model for evaluation tide surge, aiming to deliver accurate results through analysis surveillance camera images. A mode based Inception v3 structure was applied predict storm surges from cameras located two different...
Summary Remote sensing is a fundamental tool to monitor biodiversity over large spatial extents. However, it still not clear whether spectral diversity (SD - variation of response across set pixels) may represent fast and reliable proxy for different facets such as taxonomic (TD) functional (FD) scales. We used fine resolution (3 cm) multispectral imagery on coastal dune communities in Italy explore SD patterns scales assess relationships with TD FD along the environmental gradient. measured...
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...
Advances in machine learning and deep approaches have drawn substantial interest across diverse research domains, including environmental studies. These innovative techniques transformed the to measuring marine parameters by facilitating automated remote data collection. This study focuses on implementation of a model automatically assess tide surge, aiming for precise outcomes through analysis surveillance camera imagery. Utilizing Inception v3 structure, was applied predict storm surge...
Coastal transgressive dunefields represent an unusual, decoupled state of the beach-dune system in current temperate zones. Knowledge factors responsible for activation (high sediment supply, climatic conditions, vegetation disturbance, high wave and wind energy) is a tool inferring similar conditions past evaluating potential sand drift re-activation context future change. The sole examples currently stabilized active dune fields Italy are on Sardinia's west coast, due to strong unimodal...
<p>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...
Climate change is affecting more and local communities, which are now facing different hazards; in answer to this threat, specific actions at the level should be taken. The Covenant of Mayors (CoM) an initiative that tries involve municipalities communities developing SECAPs, i.e., plans for sustainable energy climate with aim develop adaptation mitigation measures. In order identify evaluate hazards, CoM developed a template relative current risk expected changes future. This paper develops...
<p>Photogrammetric surveys from UAV and LiDAR are two techniques that allow for the production of very high resolution point clouds.
