The use of drones has rapidly evolved over the past decade involving a variety of fields
ranging from agriculture, commercial and becoming increasingly used in disaster …

Landslides (LS) represent geomorphological processes that can induce changes over time
in the physical, hydrogeological, and mechanical properties of the involved materials. For …

This paper represents the result of the IAEG C35 Commission “Monitoring methods and
approaches in engineering geology applications” workgroup aimed to describe a general …

The number of scientific studies that consider possible applications of remotely piloted
aircraft systems (RPASs) for the management of natural hazards effects and the …

This paper describes the use of a drone in collecting data for mapping discontinuities within
a marble quarry. A topographic survey was carried out in order to guarantee high spatial …

The paper presents a methodology to rapidly assess and map the landslide kinematics in
areas with dense vegetation cover. The method uses aerial imagery collected with UAVs …

Unmanned aerial photogrammetric surveys are increasingly being used for mapping and
studying natural hazards, such as rockfalls. Surveys using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) …

Landslides leave discernible signs on the land surface, most of which can be captured in
remote sensing images. Trained geomorphologists analyse remote sensing images and …

Photogrammetry-based techniques offer a fast and inexpensive way to obtain data needed
for geotechnical characterization and hazard assessment of steep rock faces. These …

Flood mapping and estimation of the maximum water depth are essential elements for the
first damage evaluation, civil protection intervention planning and detection of areas where …
