Bruxelles, December 8, 2010

According to an agreement signed on December 2005 between the Economy and

Financial Ministry, the Research and University Ministry and the Basilicata Region

the creation of a Technological District in Basilicata Region (Southern Italy) in

the field of Earth Observation and Natural Hazards was promoted.

In this framework the project “Earth Observation and Natural Hazard

Technologies” was proposed and approved, with the aim of developing

innovative technologies and methodologies for the protection and prevention of

natural hazards.

Earth Observation by ground-based, by aircraft and by satellite techniques in order to monitor, forecast and prevent natural risks, with particular reference to the hydrogeologic hazard;

Prevention and mitigation of natural disasters in areas characterized by high seismic and hydrogeological risk, through the application of innovative technologies for the safeguard of architectural heritage and for the checking of civil buildings;

Information and Communication and GRID technologies for sharing different data and managing them in inter-operable systems for Earth Observation applications.

TeRN is a regional cluster will be based on a triple helix model involving “research – enterprises – End Users”.

Such configuration of institutional, business and research forces will make possible innovation and maximise benefits derived by the local presence of strategic RTD infrastructures and environmental technologies-focused firms.

Musmeci Bridge (1967-1976) is one of the test beds of the ISTIMES project. It is not only a link between Potenza Town and Basentana highway, but an important example of the architectonic culture of the XX century. It suffers several problems related to the aging and traffic growth.

Ground Penetrating Radar surveys were performed on February 2010

Subsequent microwave inversion algorithm application has largely improved the resolution
