Indagini di carattere ambientale attraverso l’analisi di dati multispettrali Landsat ed ASTER

The paper focuses on the use of multispectral satellite data for environmental monitoring along a portion of the Emilia-romagna coastal area where natural (wetland and salt intrusions) and anthropical (agricultural exploitations) aspects interact and modify the original ecological equilibrium. The environmental properties of wet and dry areas have been investigated by classification of satellite data acquired from Landsat TM 4/5, ETM+ and Terra-ASTER platforms acquired since 1986 to 2002. Results, specific properties of transitional environments that were highlighted by the analysis and possible validation procedures are addressed.
