Assess Urban Geo-Hazards: A New Ground-Airborne Geophysical instrumental facility

This work presents the results of Activity 7.4 within the ITINERIS project (PNRR M4C2 Inv.3.1 IR), aimed at providing open-access geophysical data for the characterization and monitoring of the surface, subsurface, and built environment in urban areas. The project integrates multi-scale, multi-resolution, and multi-sensor approaches, enhancing Italy's research infrastructure through the acquisition and networking of advanced ground-based and airborne geophysical systems. These include electrical resistivity and magnetotelluric instruments, seismic nodal arrays, GB-SAR and GB-RAR systems, and VNIR-SWIR hyperspectral imaging technologies. Initial deployment and testing have been conducted at pilot sites in Basilicata, including Potenza and Tito. Data will be integrated into the ITINERIS platform under FAIR principles and shared with the scientific community and stakeholders. This approach demonstrates the potential for combined geophysical and remote sensing tools to improve natural hazard assessment and land monitoring. The methodologies developed will support other national efforts, including seismic microzonation in high-risk areas like Campi Flegrei, contributing to better-informed decision-making and sustainable territorial planning.
