Improving basin scale shallow landslide modelling using reliable soil thickness maps
Segoni, Samuele; Rossi, Guglielmo; Catani, Filippo - In: Natural Hazards 61 (2012) 1, pp. 85-101
Soil thickness is a well-known factor controlling shallow landsliding. Notwithstanding, its spatial organisation over large areas is poorly understood, and in basin scale slope analyses it is often established using simple methods. In this paper, we apply five different soil thickness models in...

Remote Sensing for Site-Specific Crop Management: Evaluating the Potential of Digital Multi-Spectral Imagery for Monitoring Crop Variability and Weeds within Paddocks
Drysdale, G.; Metternicht, G. - International Farm Management Association - IFMA - 2003
four individual bands (blue, green, red and near- infrared) of the DMSI were correlated with LAI and weed density counts … collected in the paddock. Statistical analyses show the LAI of canola had strong negative correlations with the blue (-0.93) and … between the canola LAI and selected bands of the DMSI indicate that this may be a suitable technique for monitoring canola …

The Role of Green Roofs as a Source/sink of Pollutants in Storm Water Outflows
Gnecco, I.; Palla, A.; Lanza, L.G.; Barbera, P. - In: Water Resources Management 27 (2013) 14, pp. 4715-4730
Green roofs are increasingly used as sustainable urban drainage systems due to their retention and detention capacity; however, the impact of green roofs in term of water quality is still a debated issue among researchers. A monitoring programme was carried out at the University of Genoa on a...
