| EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND COMPETENCIES TO BE ACQUIRED BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES OF REMOTE SENSING, ACTIVE AND PASSIVE SENSORS, METHODS AND TOOLS FOR DATA PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS, WITH REFERENCE TO CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING SKILLS: ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES OF REMOTE SENSING AND ABOUT SENSORS ON BOARD SATELLITES AND THEIR USE IN VARIOUS AREAS OF CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING. ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO ANALYZE DATA AND DATA SETS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: ABILITY TO DO APPROPRIATE ANALYSES THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION AND PROCESSING OF REMOTELY SENSED DATA. CASE STUDIES WILL BE DEVELOPED IN THE AREAS OF HYDROGEOLOGICAL RISK MONITORING AND WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT. THE APPLICATIONS ON CASE STUDIES WILL BE FUNDAMENTAL TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE LEARNED DURING THE THEORETICAL LESSONS. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT: KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY THE BEST DATA, METHODS AND PROCESSING SOFTWARE FOR DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL REMOTE SENSING. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: BEING ABLE TO USE TECHNICAL LANGUAGE. LEARNING SKILLS: BEING ABLE TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE AND BEING ABLE TO MONITOR THE EVOLUTION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD. |

| THIS COURSE PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW ON PRINCIPLES OF REMOTE SENSING AND ITS INSTRUMENTS FOCUSING ON THE MOST INNOVATIVE MONITORING TECHNIQUES OF THE NATURAL OR BUILT ENVIRONMENT. THE COURSE IS ORGANIZED IN THREE MODULES. THE COURSE IS ORGANIZED INTO THREE MODULES. MODULE 1 : TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING AND TERRAIN MODELING USING SPACEBORNE, UAV AND GROUND-BASED REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES. ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS. LESSON 1 PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES OF REMOTE SENSING. THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM. REMOTE SENSING METHODS: VISIBLE, INFRARED AND MICROWAVE. REMOTE SENSING IMAGES: SPECTRAL, SPATIAL, RADIOMETRIC, AND TEMPORAL RESOLUTIONS. RADIATION LAWS. ACTIVE SENSORS USED IN REMOTE SENSING: RADAR E LIDAR. PASSIVE SENSORS: OPTICAL AND ELECTRO-OPTICAL VIS AND NIR. MAIN APPLICATIONS OF RADAR SENSORS AND INTERFEROMETRIC TECHNIQUES. SATELLITE ORBITS. EARTH OBSERVATION MISSIONS. METHODS OF PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS OF REMOTE SENSING DATA. MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR GEOREFERENCING OF OPTICAL SATELLITE IMAGES. METHODS OF PRODUCING A DTM. LESSON 2 CARTOGRAPHIC APPLICATIONS OF SATELLITE IMAGE DATA. ALGORITHMS AND TOOLS FOR LIDAR AND UAV DATA PROCESSING. REMOTE SENSING FOR NATURAL HAZARDS ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT. MODULE 2 : CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF FRESHWATER ENVIRONMENTS FOR OPTIMIZED PROTECTION, RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT LESSON 1 DESCRIPTION OF SATELLITE MONITORING TOOLS. FREE DATASETS, FEATURES, PERFORMANCE AND DOWNLOADING. MULTISPECTRAL AND SAR DATA PROCESSING. AUTOMATIC EXTRACTION AND MEASUREMENT OF SURFACES COVERED BY WATER. APPLICATIONS IN THE FIELD OF MANAGEMENT, REQUALIFICATION AND PROTECTION OF AQUATIC ENVIRONMENTS. LESSON 2 PRACTICAL EXERCISE. EACH STUDENT WILL CHOOSE A CASE STUDY, WETLAND, RIVER OR LAKE AND WILL IMPLEMENT ALGORITHMS FOR PRE-PROCESSING AND AUTOMATIC CLASSIFICATION OF WATER SURFACES. UPON THE STUDENT'S REQUEST, IT WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE TO MAKE OBSERVATIONS OF THE DYNAMICS OF URBANIZATION, VEGETATION AND WILD FIRES. MODULE 3: ASSIMILATION OF UNCONVENTIONAL MONITORING DATA IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS (SUBSIDENCE/LANDSLIDE ANALYSIS, MONITORING AND MODELLING) LESSON 1 BASICS OF DIFFERENTIAL INTERFEROMETRY SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (DINSAR) DATA. DATA AVAILABILITY AND OVERVIEW OF APPLICATIONS. LIMITS/POTENTIAL OF DINSAR DATA USE FOR GEOTECHNICAL STUDIES. PROCEDURES AND CASE STUDIES DEALING WITH THE MAPPING, CONTINUOUS MONITORING AND MODELLING OF SUBSIDENCE-INDUCED SETTLEMENTS AFFECTING URBAN AREAS IN DIFFERENT GEO-ENVIRONMENTAL CONTESTS AND ANALYSIS OF CONSEQUENCES ON BUILDINGS AND INFRASTRUCTURES. MULTI-SCALAR APPROACHES FOR CONVENTIONAL/ UNCONVENTIONAL DATA INTERPRETATION UNDER THE PERSPECTIVE OF SUSTAINABLE SUBSIDENCE RISK MITIGATION WILL BE PRESENTED. LESSON 2 PROCEDURES AND CASE STUDIES DEALING WITH THE CHARACTERIZATION (GEOMETRIC AND KINEMATIC) AND MONITORING OF (ACTIVE/REACTIVATED) SLOW-MOVING LANDSLIDE PHENOMENA AFFECTING BUILT-UP AREAS IN DIFFERENT GEO-ENVIRONMENTAL CONTESTS AND ANALYSIS OF CONSEQUENCES ON BUILDINGS AND INFRASTRUCTURES. MULTI-SCALAR APPROACHES FOR CONVENTIONAL/UNCONVENTIONAL DATA INTERPRETATION AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE SLOW-MOVING LANDSLIDE RISK MITIGATION WILL BE PRESENTED. |
