Coastal alluvial plains underlain by unconsolidated deposits are prone to land subsidence, a geohazard that can damage infrastructure and alter drainage patterns. One such example is the Venetian–Friulian coastal plain (NE Italy), where natural...
Ground deformation related to mining activities may occur immediately or many years later, leading to a series of mine geological disasters, such as ground fissures, collapses, and even mining earthquakes. Deformation monitoring has been carried out...
This paper presents a novel method for extracting the land vertical displacement rates (VDRs) in Shanghai (China) using the multi-platform SAR images collected between 2009 and 2010, i.e., the ascending/descending COSMO-SkyMed (CSK) X-band images and...
Monitoring urban subsidence over ultra-long periods using time-series Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) technology is critically important. Conventional approaches, however, face two main limitations: significant atmospheric phase resi...
The increasing availability of multiplatform, multiband, very-high-resolution (VHR) satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data has attracted the attention of a growing number of scientists and archeologists. In particular, over the last two decade...
Ground subsidence in urban areas is mainly due to natural or anthropogenic activities, and it seriously threatens the healthy and sustainable development of the city and the security of individuals’ lives and assets. Shanghai is a megacity of C...
With the increasing demand for three-dimensional positioning in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems, multi-view SAR technology is rapidly evolving. Airborne-distributed SAR systems, benefiting from multi-platform collaborative observation, flexibl...
Reliable assessments of dam stability require the continuous acquisition and interpretation of deformation data, as monitoring technologies provide essential information for evaluating structural behavior. Surface displacement measurements are partic...
Capturing and identifying field-based agricultural activities, such as the start, duration and end of irrigation, together with crop sowing/germination, growing period and time of harvest, offer informative metrics that can assist in precision agricu...
Surface soil moisture (SSM) is a critical indicator of crop growth conditions, and its accurate retrieval is essential for agricultural monitoring. Integrating multispectral and microwave remote sensing data can enhance SSM estimation, but discrepanc...
Satellite remote sensing has rapidly evolved from an experimental support tool into a structural component of preventive archaeology and cultural heritage governance. Drawing on scientific publications and policy-oriented grey literature from 2010&nd...
Volterra (Central Italy) is a town of great historical interest, due to its vast and well-preserved cultural heritage, including a 2.6 km long Etruscan-medieval wall enclosure representing one of the most important elements. Volterra is located on a...
Sea surface wind affects the fluxes of energy, mass and momentum between the atmosphere and ocean, and therefore regional and global weather and climate. With various satellite microwave sensors, sea surface wind can be measured with large spatial co...
Geological hazards induced by large-scale and high-intensity mining activities worldwide are primary drivers of regional ecological degradation and pose significant threats to human safety and property. To construct efficient monitoring systems and e...
