DREAM 3: DRone tEchnology for wAter resources and hydrologic hazards Monitoring 3

Nowadays, expected effects of climate change at local, regional and global scales endanger hydrologic budgets of Alpine regions. An example is the massive shrinkage of mountain glaciers, with the consequent problem of water resources reduction for civil population and ecosystems. Therefore, it is very important to monitor glaciers’ evolution, in order to allow an estimation of glaciers’ reduction and possible effects on the hydrologic cycle. DREAM3 project aims at investigating new technologies and tools, especially Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAVs) for evaluating water resources at different scales. The eastern slopes of Monte Rosa and its glacier tongue(Belvedere glacier) has been used as test site.
