Integration of Optical and Radar Satellite Data for Natural Resources Monitoring

The objective of the thesis’ research work is to test the integration of optical and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite data for natural resources monitoring. Two different applications were considered; monitoring vegetation disturbances, specifically mapping the areas affected by wildfires in Mediterranean regions of southern European states, and crop mapping in northern Italy.
