MONITORING OF ACTIVE GEOLOGICAL PROCESSES
Academic Year 2024/2025 - Teacher: GIORGIO DE GUIDIExpected Learning Outcomes
The course aims to provide the ability to design geodetic-topographic surveys in areas affected by deformation induced by active geological processes, using GNSS surveying techniques, Total Station, APR (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) aerophotogrammetric methods and satellite remote sensing.
Course Structure
