ASI-SRV gateway: An integrated tool to support the monitoring activities

The ASI-SRV (Sistema Rischio Vulcanico) project is devoted to the development of an integrated system based on EO and Non EO data to respond to specific needs of the Italian Civil Protection Department (DPC). ASI-SRV provides the capability to import many different EO and Non EO data into the system, it maintains a repository in which the acquired data are stored and generates selected products which will be functional to the different volcanic activity phases. The processing modules for Radar and EO Optical sensors data allow to estimate a number of parameters which include: surface thermal proprieties, gas, aerosol and ash emissions and to characterize the volcanic products in terms of composition and geometry, surface deformations in terms of displacements and velocity. All the generated products are related to Italian actives volcanoes and three test sites have been chosen to demonstrate the capability of this integrated system: Vesuvio, Campi Flegrei (Campania region) and Etna (Sicilia region), all in Italy. The produced results have been disseminated through a WEB-GIS interface which allows the Italian Department of Civil Protection to overview and assimilate the products in a compatible format respect to their local monitoring system in order to have an immediate use of the provided information. In this paper some results obtained by means of modules developed within the ASI-SRV project and dedicated to the processing of EO data of the last Etna eruption of 15th May 2008 and the short event in the night between 12th and 13th January 2011 are presented. © Gi4DM 2011 - GeoInformation for Disaster Management.All right reserved.
