Journal ArticleDOI
Drones as tools for monitoring beach topography changes in the Ligurian Sea (NW Mediterranean)
Elisa Casella,Alessio Rovere,Alessio Rovere,Alessio Rovere,Andrea Pedroncini,Colin P. Stark,Marco Casella,Marco Ferrari,Marco Firpo +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated topographic changes along a stretch of coastline in the Municipality of Borghetto Santo Spirito (Region of Liguria, Italy, north-western Mediterranean) by means of a remotely piloted aircraft system coupled with structure from motion and multi-view stereo techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Machine learning ensemble modelling as a tool to improve landslide susceptibility mapping reliability
Mariano Di Napoli,Francesco Carotenuto,Andrea Cevasco,Pierluigi Confuorto,Diego Di Martire,Marco Firpo,Giacomo Pepe,Emanuele Raso,Domenico Calcaterra +8 more
TL;DR: The improved reliability of Ensemble modelling confirms the efficacy and suitability of the proposed approach for decision-makers in land management at local and regional scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of wave runup using numerical models and low-altitude aerial photogrammetry: A tool for coastal management
Elisa Casella,Alessio Rovere,Alessio Rovere,Andrea Pedroncini,Luigi Mucerino,Marco Casella,Luis Alberto Cusati,Matteo Vacchi,Marco Ferrari,Marco Firpo +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected aerial photos using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle after two different swells on the same study area, and merged the point cloud obtained with photogrammetry with multibeam data, in order to obtain a complete beach topography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution of sea-level markers on Lesvos Island (NE Aegean Sea): Evidence of differential relative sea-level changes and the neotectonic implications
Matteo Vacchi,Alessio Rovere,Alessio Rovere,Nickolas Zouros,Stéphane Desruelles,Vincent Caron,Marco Firpo +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide new data on relative sea-level changes and neotectonics of the northeast-ern Aegean Sea region (Eastern Mediterranean) through the analysis of the coastal geomorphology of Lesvos, the third largest Greek island.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geo-hydrological risk management for civil protection purposes in the urban area of Genoa (Liguria, NW Italy)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of past flood events and several landslides that have caused severe damage to urbanized areas on both the coastal-fluvial plains and surrounding slopes, sometimes involving human casualties.
