PROJECT: Methods for identifying avalanche activity, snow depth on the ground, and the presence of wet snow, have been applied in various climatic contexts, from Norway to Italy.
CLIENT: Public and private Companies
STAKEHOLDERS: Wyssen, Arpa Marche, Comune di Livigno
APPLICATIONS:
- – Near-real-time monitoring of avalanche activity at different scales (Norway, Livigno, Marche);
- – Mapping of snow depth on the ground (Norway, Livigno)
- – Mapping of wet snow (Livigno, Marche, Norway)
DESCRIPTION: Through the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite data, combined with advanced machine learning algorithms and mathematical models, we are able to monitor the majority of avalanche activity at with weekly resolution and map snow depth on the ground, or the presence of wet snow, at various scales.
