IV ESA EARSEL CNR School: Remote Sensing for Forest Fires

September 30 - October 1
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

Earth Observation has long been considered as a key tool for fire data, science, modelling, management, and monitoring. The most recent developments in computer technology, data processing, artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning approaches, and geospatial data mining techniques enable advanced dynamic modelling, tools, data integration, and assimilation schemes. They are expected to significantly support and …

Mapping the faults of 2019 California earthquakes jointly using the Copernicus Sentinel 1 & 2 missions

A strong earthquake of Mw 7.1 struck southern California, United States on July 6, 2019 preceded by another earthquake of Mw 6.4 on July 4. This was the strongest earthquake in California since the 1999 Mw 7.1 Hector Mine earthquake. The earthquake sequence took place on a remote and sparsely inhabited area of California, limiting …

Flood disaster risk financing: e-Drift services

The demand The frequency and impact of disasters continues to rise, calling for effective disaster risk management and innovative risk financing solutions. Disaster Risk Financing (DRF) can increase the ability of national and local governments, homeowners, businesses, agricultural producers, and low-income populations to respond more quickly and resiliently to disasters by strengthening public financial management …

Snow avalanche detection and monitoring with Sentinel-1

  Incomplete avalanche activity datasets introduce uncertainty to avalanche forecasting Roughly 150-250 people die each year in avalanche accidents. Infrastructure loss and costs from evacuations and road closures and the use of active and permanent mitigation measures amount to large economic costs. Regional avalanche forecasting is an active mitigation measure that informs the public of …

Operational Snow Avalanche Detection Using Sentinel-1

Prime company: NORTHERN RESEARCH INSTITUTE (NORUT) (NO)

NORUT has developed an automatic avalanche detection method within a pre-operational processing chain that uses Sentinel-1 data to detect avalanches. This system is being tested in Northern Norway and is used operationally during winter 2017-2018 with the Norwegian Avalanche Warning Service. The goal of this project is to develop our avalanche detection processing chain to …
