Activities

The secondary office of the Institute of Polar Sciences of Padova is mainly devoted to numeric modelling and remote sensing. These research activities belong to the Project Areas of the Earth System Science and Environmental Technologies Department - DSSTTA
- Global Change
- Earth Observation
- Natural Risks, Man made Impacts and Technologies for the Environment
In the modelling field, the main topics are the modelling of alpine glaciers for climatological purposes and of sea and ocean waves, to study their variations due to mid- term climate changes and the impact of changes in wave regimes on the vulnerability of coastlines. In the framework of Remote Sensing, the satellite active sensors (SAR, scatterometer) are used for the determination and study of wind fields over the ocean and the motion of the Artic sea ice. The latter activity is carried out within the framework of the MOSAiC project with SAR images from the CosmoSky-MED satellites provided by the Italian Space Agency ASI.
In the experimental field, the main topics are the role of hydrological extreme events in triggering instability phenomena such as landslides and the study environmental chemical pollution using mass spectrometry.
