This study investigates the evolution of the Boccassuolo landslide using remote sensing techniques applied to PlanetScope and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. The landslide occurred in late March 2025 within the municipality of Palagano (Modena Province, northern Italy), approximately 1.5 km south of the hamlet of Boccassuolo. The event began as a rotational landslide and evolved rapidly into an earth flow; subsequently, the eart...

Deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DsGSDs) are very slow slope instabilities that can have a long-term impact on anthropic structures and infrastructures. The characterization of their state of activity is, therefore, essential to evaluate it. By employing Differential Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) techniques, a dedicated procedure, to explore the behavior and define the state of activity of 279 D...

Deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DsGSDs) are widespread phenomena in the Alpine environment. Their dynamics, although very slow, endanger human settlements and connecting infrastructures. Monitoring such phenomena is mandatory to evaluate the impact on infrastructure networks and inhabited areas. Nowadays, the implementation of a tool useful to define and manage the interactions of DsGSDs evolution and the anthrop...

This paper represents the result of the IAEG C35 Commission “Monitoring methods and approaches in engineering geology applications” workgroup aimed to describe a general overview of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their potentiality in several engineering geology applications. The use of UAV has progressively increased in the last decade and nowadays started to be considered a standard research instrument for the acquisiti...
