VALIDATION OF LANDSLIDE HAZARD ASSESSMENT BY MEANS OF GPS MONITORING TECHNIQUE – A CASE STUDY IN THE DOLOMITES (EASTERN ALPS, ITALY)

Validation of landslide hazard assessment by means of GPS monitoring technique – a case study in the Dolomites (Eastern Alps, Italy)

In sensory play the last years a research project aimed at the assessment of the landslide hazard and susceptibility in the high Cordevole river basin (Eastern Dolomites, Italy) have been carried out.The hazard map was made adopting the Swiss Confederation semi-deterministic approach that takes into account parameters such as velocity, geometry and

On tackling the environmental crisis through human rights

There is broad scientific consensus on the anthropogenic roots of the environmental crisis, whether we think about biodiversity decline, climate change, pollution or, in general, about the increasing scarcity of ecological space for living entities.Unlike humans, other living beings have no notion of crisis and are probably not bothered by such hig

Classical Biological Control of Invasive Legacy Crop Pests: New Technologies Offer Opportunities to Revisit Old Pest Problems in Perennial Tree Crops

Advances in scientific disciplines that support classical biological control have provided “new tools” that could have important applications for biocontrol programs for some long-established invasive arthropod pests.We suggest that these previously unavailable tools should be used in biological control programs targeting “legacy pests”, ev
