Multiscale morphological trajectories to support management of free-flowing rivers: the Vjosa in South-East Europe.

Free-flowing rivers (FFRs) are fundamental references for river management, providing the opportunity to investigate river functioning under minimal anthropic disturbance. However, large free-flowing rivers are rare in Europe and worldwide, and knowledge of their dynamics is often scarce due to a lack of data and baseline studies. So far, their characterization is mainly grounded in the longitudinal connectivity assessment, with scarce integration of further hydro-morphological aspects, particularly concerning the processes and drivers of changes in their morphology over time scales of management relevance.

GNSS-R with Low-Cost Receivers for Retrieval of Antenna Height from Snow Surfaces Using Single-Frequency Observations.

Snowpack is an important fresh water storage; the retrieval of snow water equivalents from satellite data permits to estimate potentially available water amounts which is an essential parameter in water management plans running in several application fields (e.g., basic needs, hydroelectric, agriculture, hazard and risk monitoring, climate change studies).
