The C.E.R.I.S.I’s Earth Science Lab consists of two sections with a common denominator in environmental and territorial analysis: that is geochemistry and geomorphology. The geochemistry section is equipped with X-rayfluorescence, mass spectrometer, electronic microscopeand a portable radon detector able to make measurementson sediments and liquids even of trace elements.
The geomorphological section features a fleet of drones, multicopters and fixed wing that, equipped with cameras, laser scanner (LIDAR), thermal and spectro cameras allow you to make both topographic and morphological surveys, and analysis of the Earth’s temperature and color changes. The equipment is completed by an AUV (AutonomousUnderwater Vehicle), a torpedo that permits you to scan thebottom by a side scan sonar and multi-beam bathymetry.
The C.E.R.I.S.I’s Earth Science Lab has a powerful data processing center that allows you to remotely managedetections and offer technical services on line. The lab besides detection of the evolution of the slopes(landslides), rivers (floods) and coasts (erosion) isspecifically aimed at environmental analysis in order to monitor and prevent environmental crimes or hydrogeomorphologic disruptions; The instrument also allows the analysis of the built heritage, using digital images of greatdetail.
