Sensing Atmospheric Winds from Quadrotor Motion
… due to limitations of conventional atmospheric sensors. In this dissertation, dynamic systems and estimation theory are combined with experimental methods to exploit the flight envelope of multirotor UAS for wind sensing. The parameters of three quadrotor motion models, consisting of a kinematic …

Protection and management of marine areas in the Mediterranean Sea: applications of satellite remote sensing
… of Mediterranean MPAs. The advance in satellite Remote Sensing (RS) technologies has made possible to look at the MPAs not only by means of discrete in situ surveys but rather on the basis of a “synoptic” and repeated view. The primary aim of this thesis was to establish how the satellite sensors …
