  • Evaluating three insar time-series methods to assess creep motion:Case study: Masouleh landslide in North Iran

    • Authors: Motagh, M.; Mirzaee, S.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2017)

  • Masouleh is one of the ancient cities located in a high mountainous area in Gilan province of northern Iran. The region is threatened by a hazardous landslide, which was last activated in 1998, causing 32 dead and 45 injured. Significant temporal decorrelation caused by dense vegetation coverage within the landslide area makes the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) for monitoring landslide movement very challenging. In this paper, we investigate the capability of three InSAR time-series techniques for evaluating creep motion on Masouleh landslide. The techniques are Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI), Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) and SqueeSAR. The analysis is done using a dataset of 33 TerraSAR-X images in SpotLight (SL) mode covering a period of 15 months...

  • Evaluating the MSG satellite Multi-Sensor Precipitation Estimate for extreme rainfall monitoring over northern Tunisia

    • Authors: Dhib, S.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2017)

  • Knowledge and evaluation of extreme precipitation is important for water resources and flood risk management, soil and land degradation, and other environmental issues. Due to the high potential threat to local infrastructure, such as buildings, roads and power supplies, heavy precipitation can have an important social and economic impact on society. At present, satellite derived precipitation estimates are becoming more readily available. This paper aims to investigate the potential use of the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) Multi-Sensor Precipitation Estimate (MPE) for extreme rainfall assessment in Tunisia. The MSGMPE data combine microwave rain rate estimations with SEVIRI thermal infrared channel data, using an EUMETSAT production chain in near real time mode. The MPE data can...

  • Equity - based resource allocation for infrastructure development

    • Authors: van Maarseveen, M.F.A.M.; Wismadi, A.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2015)

  • Thesis discusses the policy context of addressing social and spatial equity for equitable infrastructure; discloses the shortcoming of social equity measurements and describes the existing social equity measurement methods to be applied in infrastructure development; examines the effect of place‐based policy on infrastructure and economic interaction and serves as a basis to justify the need to establish a formal method to operationalize place‐based policy into resource allocation modelling; establishes a new approach to implement a place‐based resource allocation policy in a Spatial Decision Support Systems and compares its effectiveness to address spatial equity against people‐centred policy; compares the agreement of a place‐based and people‐centred policy to planning objectives ...

  • Evaluating performances of the first automatic system for paddy irrigation in Europe

    • Authors: Moller, P.; Masseroni, D.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2018)

  • This study aims to evaluate the hydraulic, control and economical performances of the first automatic and remote-controlled system applied for traditional rice irrigation in Europe and tested in Italy during 2016 agricultural season. In particular, (i) the effects of automation on the water balance; (ii) the reliability of the irrigation system for a real-time control of flow regulation and water level management in the field and (iii) the economic viability of the investment are investigated. The results show that, despite the automatic system has not proven a decrease of water consumptions (ranging from 2000 to 3700 mm) or a significant increase of rice yield (of about 8 ton hectare−1), it has not revealed any mechanical malfunctioning during the irrigation season and it allows to...

  • Geological application of ASTER remote sensing within sparsely outcropping terrain, Central New South Wales, Australia

    • Authors: Hewson, R.D.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2017)

  • One of the major problems faced by the application of geological remote sensing is its potential limitation in areas of a temperate climate with agricultural cultivation, limited outcrops and vegetation cover. This was the issue experienced when it was attempted to use the multi-spectral satellite Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflectance Radiometer (ASTER) imagery to assist the updating of 1:100,000 geological mapping with the Ardlethan/Barmedman map sheets of central New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Most successful applications of geological remote sensing have been achieved in arid to semi-arid environments where vegetation and cultivation is minimal. Typically, day-time acquired ASTER visible to shortwave surface reflectance derived map products has extracted useful mine...
