In 2006 he was hired as a researcher at IFAC (in the Earth Observation Department). His research concerns the study of microwave emission and scattering from sea and land surfaces and their relationships with soil, snow and vegetation, by using data from passive and active sensors operating from ground based platforms, aircraft and satellite. The main topic of his research activity is the development and validation of models and inversion algorithms for estimating the geophysical parameter of soil, sea, snow and vegetation (i.e. soil moisture and roughness, vegetation biomass, liquid water content, snow water equivalent and wind speed over sea).
He was and is involved in some international programs, such as the EC projects INTAS 97-10569 and 03-51-4789, FLAUBERT, FLOODMAN EVGI-CT-2002-0085, ENVISNOW EVG1-CT-2001-00052, the ESA EO3A and ESA ENVISAT programs and the JAXA (Japan space agency, former NASDA) ADEOS/AMSR program. He participated in several microwave remote sensing international campaigns, carried out by using both MRSG sensors and satellite/airborne sensors. The campaigns were related to the MAP international project and SRTM mission, and to the INTAS 97-10569, FLAUBERT, ENVISNOW and FLOODMAN projects.
He is usually referee of the following international journals: IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing and International Journal of Remote Sensing. He is also referee of the Italian journal “Rivista Italiana di Telerilevamento”.
He is member of the Institute of Electric and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and of the “Centro di Telerilevamento a Microonde” (Microwave Remote Sensing Center).
He is author and co-author of 8 works published on international journals and books, 30 papers published on proceedings of international meetings. 9 works were published on national journals, 11 papers on national journals.

Simone PETTINATO

He was born in Florence, Italy, in 1972. He graduated in Telecommunications Engineering at the University of Florence, Italy, in 2002. Since 2003, he worked with Microwave Remote Sensing Group at IFAC (Institute of Applied Physics ‘Nello Carrara’, Florence – Italy). His activity deals with the processing of SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) data as geocoding and radiometric calibration, in order to investigate geophysical parameters of land surface (soil moisture content, snow cover, vegetation). In March 2007, he obtained the Ph.D. in “Methods and technologies for environmental monitoring” at Basilicata University. The main objective of the Ph. D. research was the contribution of microwave remote sensing data for monitoring of flooding risk areas, by means of soil moisture and snow cover maps retrieved from SAR data. He was also involved in the European projects FLOODMAN and ENVISNOW. Recently, he was involved in others Europen projects that investigate the sensitivity of bistatic interaction models with bare soils and CORE-H2O. More recently, his research activity considered the investigation of polar ice at DOME-C area (South Pole) by means of passive microwave sensors (AMSR-E). Actually he is involved in Italian Space Agency (ASI) projects for floods forecast (NOWCASTING) and Cosmo-SkyMed applications (Hydro-Cosmo).
