Research and Development
The research activity of the Chair is in line with its mission which is the prevention and management of geo-hydrological hazards with special emphasis to landslides, subsidence and floods.
The activity of the Chair is carried out in the framework of several national and international projects. In particular, concerning the international projects, we mention the projects of the International Programme of Landslides of the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL/IPL), as well as several EU-funded projects:
LINKS, PassPORT,RETURN, ITINERIS,ROMERO,EGMS RASTOOL,EGMS, Resolute, Sara,PATHFINDER, G-Class Hydroterra, U-GeoHaz, Re-HeEd.
The main lines of research are:
- Innovative technologies for landslide monitoring and early warning.
- EO (Earth Observation) data and technology to detect, map, monitor and forecast ground deformations.
- Regional landslide forecasting models.
- Quantitative evaluation of geo-hydrological risks
- Flood risk evaluation and mapping in a changing environment
- Increasing resilience through non-structural risk management
- Flood risk assessment through regional frequency analysis of hydrological extremes and analysis with the uncertainty of hydrological extreme events
