MONITOR

Integrated monitoring applied to geomorphological risk of multi-utility service networks

The project aims to link the satellite/remote sensing data to on-site observations and measurements with numerical terrain analysis, in order to monitor the utility networks (water and energy) and manage their potential risk of failure induced both by geomorphological and structural factors in a forecasting perspective.

The study area is placed in the metropolitan area of Genova (North-West Italy) characterized by a hilly and coastal environment, particularly affected by landslides and floods particularly in autumn. Here the utility networks are intrinsically vulnerable due to their density.
