Accurate data on gross domestic product (GDP) at pixel level are needed to understand the dynamics of regional economies. GDP spatialization is the basis of quantitative analysis on economic diversities of different administrative divisions and areas with different natural or humanistic attributes. Data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), carried by the Suomi National Po...

This paper follows a geostatistical approach for the evaluation, modelling and visualization of the possible local interactions between natural components and built-up elements in seismic risk analysis. This method, applied to old town centre of Potenza hilltop town, offers a new point of view for civil protection planning using kernel density and autocorrelation indexes maps to analyse macrose...

the main objective of this study was to arak city zoning geomorphological parameters of the model using fuzzy logic. in order to realize these objectives, 10 parameters including of height, distance from fault, distance from the main channel, distance from sub-channel, distance from road, slope percent, distance from settlements, terrain type, erosion potential and seismic vulnerability in the ...

This paper presents the results of 2021 and 2022 field activities carried out at San Nicola Island (Tremiti Islands, Southern Adriatic Sea) by two groups students as part Environmental Geomorphology Field Mapping course held within Master's Degree in Geological Sciences Technologies Earth Planets University ‘G. d'Annunzio’ Chieti-Pescara. were following an integrated approach that involved morp...

Abstract Present geological and geomorphological objects are non-living features that can enhance curiosity increase the knowledge of Earth's history, through development geotourism. The municipality Durrës, located in western Albania represents an active tectonic area with numerous landforms, evidence geodiversity geoheritage. In this paper, most typical geosites identified mainly based on the...

The “laguna de El Conde” wetland Ramsar reserve (Córdoba, Spain) depicts a geomorphological progression with different Pleistocene and Holocene stages and reaching a concluding situation by anthropic manipulation of the local network of tributaries. The nature of the sediments carried into the Triassic-gypsum depression where the reserve is situated. Further, dissolution processes and the forma...

The aim of the project is the development of an Early Warning system for flood events based on precipitation analysis and related to historical flooded area detection.The recently change of Humanitarian International Agencies in the way of approaching the emergency preparedness has lead UN (United Nations) system to create a tightened collaboration with different research centers, where ITHACA ...

5 A constellation of saline wetlands in the Spanish Monegros Desert is currently 6 subjected to increasing agricultural pressure. Until now, no systematic study of their 7 degradation status has been performed, and no comprehensive map of these wetlands 8 has been available. Both subjects are addressed for the first time in this study. In 9 addition, we set up a conceptual tool for assessing sa...

Mapping landslide activity in a highly anthropized area entails specific problems. The integration of different monitoring techniques in order to measure the displacements rate within the slope is mandatory. We describe our activity for the Mortisa landslide which is located on the western flank of the Cortina d’Ampezzo valley (northeastern Italy) in a highly anthropized area in the heart of th...

In this paper, we introduce an algorithm to delineate elementary forms on Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). Elementary forms are defined by constant values of fundamental morphometric properties and limited by discontinuities of these properties. A multiresolution segmentation technique was customized to partition the layers of altitude derivatives into homogeneous divisions through a self-scala...
