HARMONIA will leverage existing tools, services and novel technologies to deliver an integrated resilience assessment platform working on top of GEOSS, seeing the current lack of a dedicated process of understanding and quantifying Climate Change (CC) effects on urban areas using Satellite and auxiliary data available on GEOSS, DIAS, urban TEP, GEP etc. platforms.
HARMONIA will test modern Remote Sensing tools and 3D-4D monitoring, Machine Learning/Deep Learning techniques and develop a modular scalable data-driven multi-layer urban areas observation information knowledge base, using Satellite data time series, spatial information and auxiliary data, in-situ observing systems, which will integrate detailed information on local level.
HARMONIA focuses on two pillars: a) natural and manmade hazards intensified by CC: urban flooding, soil degradation and geo-hazards; and b) manmade hazards: heat islands, urban heat fluxes, Air Quality, Gas emissions.
DABC role
POLIMI-DABC is the project coordinator of HARMONIA. It is thus responsible for all the scientific, administrative and financial management of the project and is also the responsible for the compliance with ethic standards. Regarding the scientific development of the project, POLIMI-DABC is leader of T3.3 “In-situ data acquisition”, T4.4 “Geotechnical models in CC context” and WP7 “Demonstration & Validation activities”. Additionally, POLIMI-DABC is the technical partner of reference for the pilot case of Milan and is supporting the Municipality of Milan for what concerns the collection of relevant data, the definition of needs and requirements, the organisation of dissemination and training activities.
