Expertise: The mission of CNR-IRPI is to design and execute scientific research and technological development in the fields of natural hazards, environmental protection, and the sustainable use of geo-resources. IRPI carries out its mission by operating at different geographical and temporal scales, with aim to define tolls and methods to forecast and prevent catastrophic events sand mitigate the related risks.
IRPI lines include, but are not limited to:
- the development of knowledge and technologies, services and innovative products useful for the definition, forecasting and mitigation of natural risks, land planning, effective and sustainable management of the geo-environmental resources;
- the design implementation and management of monitoring systems also providing technical-scientific consulting, mainly, but not exclusively, for civil protection and other public administrations;
- development of innovative sensors based on optical fiber technologies, ITC and web-based systems applied to emergency management for civil protection purpose, environmental and geotechnical monitoring and control;
- outreach activaties, including training and dissemination, on natural hazards and their consequences.
The unit offers a multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of geotechnics, geomorphology, geoinformatics, environmental engineering and monitoring. The processing of satellite images, implementation of numerical models and the development of innovative sensors based on fiber optics are just some of the many examples on which the group is active in the monitoring of slopes and unstable structures. Among the services that the group provides there are the monitoring of geological risk phenomena, with the purpose of early warning and alarm, the implementation of numerical models to describe their evolution, in both short and long term, and the design of countermeasure-works for mitigation.
