I’ve been doing an intense fieldwork campaign on the Aiguestortes Natural park (@ Pyrenees) with Jordi Corominas and his team, we were many different people involved and we had the opportunity to test several sensors, including our LiDAR, hexacopter, terrestrial photogrametry, total station, GPS … it was very funny, a great area to stay and a very nice company that…
A nice video showing several rockfalls in new Zealand after a big Earthquake, extracted from the blog of my colleague Dave Petley (very interesting one, by the way, just in case..): Take a look a the new post of the International Association of Engineering geology concerning the use of Unmanned Aerial vehicles for landslide investigation here: http://www.iaeg.info/the-use-of-unmanned-aerial-vehicles-for-high-resolution-landslides-investigation/
Hi, today I have had a very good surprise, one of our publications has been cited by David Petley in his well known “landslide blog”. You can read his review here: http://blogs.agu.org/landslideblog/2015/04/13/review-progressive-failure-spain/ This is a good recognisement of more than seven years monitoring on the cliff where I developed most of my PhD methods for rockfall detection and prediction..
Hello to everyone, We will be presenting a Short Course at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly. The course is entitled “Use of 3D point clouds in Geosciences: Acquisition, Processing and Applications” DATE AND PLACE: Monday 13th of April, from 17:30 to 19:30 in room B7. If you are a PhD student or an Early Stage Researcher, you are welcome…
Hi, I have good news!: I will perform an invited talk at the AGU conference at San Francisco this year. The title of the conference is “Recent advances in analysis and prediction of Rock Falls, Rock Slides, and Rock Avalanches using 3D point clouds“, within the session of Greg Stock (Yosemite National Park), Brian Collins (U.S. Geological Survey) and Jeffrey…
Hi, I’ve been invited by my colleagues of Physical Geography Department – Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt to give some lectures at their institution (see their announcement here). I will be there from October to December during a total period of four weeks. Here I attach some data (DATA NO LONGER AVAILABLE, SORRY) that we will use for the courses of this…
Here I publish some interesting information for PhD students doing research in Natural Hazards… CALL for IAG GRANTS: International Conference on Analysis and Management of Changing Risks for Natural Hazards Padua, Italy, 18-19 November 2014 The International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG/AIG) offers 2 grants of 250 Euros each to PhD students in Geomorphology from Europe (except Italy) who…
On February this year, thanks to the Swiss National project I’m enroled as a post-doc researcher and leade by Prof. Michel Jaboyedoff (Risk Analysis group, Unil), I had the chance to perform fieldwork research in the Andes and Patagonia (Argentina) in collaboration with my colleagues Dr. Ivanna Penna and Sergio Daicz from Univ. Lausanne. We have there collaborated with the…
The 2011-2013 Swiss National Foundation projects Understanding landslide precursory deformation from superficial 3D data FNS 138015 and Characterizing and analyzing 3D temporal slope evolution FNS 144040 (follow up of the previous one) have recently finished. Both projects, which were leaded by Michel Jaboyedoff and I was co-applicant, have allowed me to carried out extensive research for my post-doc. As already…
