Specific Scientific Objectives

1. Development and validation of hyperspectral retrieval algorithms for biophysical parameter estimation in preparation for launch of PRISMA hyperspectral mission. These include;

Leaf area indexn (LAI m2/m2) Fraction of vegetation cover (Fc, %) Leaf chlorophyll concentration and canopy chlorophyll content.

2. Test and validation of remote sensing techniques for qualifying water exchanges in the main tree crop species of the Med.

PRIORITY: a4l

Data location: /users/rsg/arsf/workspace/EM10_07-2010_145a_Trapani

Data arrived from ARSF via network transfer on 08/06/2010

PI: Dr F. Vuolo

NOTE: This project is actually over Catania rather than Trapani (the other end of Sicily).

Sensors:

• Eagle (16/02/2011)
• Hawk (16/02/2011)
• Leica LIDAR (04/01/12)
• RCD Photography (Not requested)

EUFAR11/02 Scientific objective: Paraglacial slope adjustment is rapid and poorly understood. It takes the form of rockfalls, debris flows and gullying – all of which involve the erosion and deposition of significant quantities of sediment. The global trend of glacial retreat means these processes are becoming much more widespread. Better understanding of the processes that bring about post-glacial slope adjustment leads to better understanding of (1) Potential hazards in downstream habitation (2) The global sediment budget (3) The formation of relict glacial landscapes.
