Giuseppe Satalino received the Laurea degree (cum laude) in Computer Science from the University of Bari, Italy, in 1991.

Career history

In 1991, he was a Summer Student at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva, Switzerland, where he worked on applications of neural networks to high energy physics. From 1993 to 1996 he was a grant-holder at the Alenia company and at National Research Council (CNR), Italy. Since 1996 he has been as a staff researcher with CNR, and since 05/07/2018 with IREA-CNR (Institute for the Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment), Bari, Italy.

Relevant experiences

He has been working in various international and national research projects concerning Earth Observation (EO) for land monitoring. These projects, mainly funded by the European Space Agency, the Italian Space Agency and by the H2020 European Union program, have the objective to investigate on the use of remote sensed Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and optical images to obtain spatial and temporal soil and vegetation information useful for agricultural and hydrological applications. As experimental activities, he has participated to ground measurement campaigns of soil and vegetation parameters in agricultural areas (SMAPVEX’16-MB in Canada, SMAPEx-3’11 and SMAPEx-2’10 in Australia, COSMO-SkyMed’10-11 and AQUATER’04-09 in Italy (Foggia), AgriSAR’06 in Germany, ASAR’02-06 and ERS’97-00 in Italy (Matera)). Moreover, he serves as reviewer for some international journals of remote sensing and he is author or co-author of more than 35 publications in ISI journals and more than 100 papers in conference proceedings.

Research activities

His research activities include data classification techniques and methods for the retrieval of bio-geo-physical parameters over agricultural areas from remote sensed L-, C- and X-band SAR and optical images, to obtain thematic maps such as land cover/use maps, soil moisture, vegetation biomass/leaf area index maps, tillage and irrigation maps. Related activities concern the software development for remote sensed data processing and the management of ground measurements of soil and vegetation parameters for the validation of EO-derived thematic maps. Currently, his work is focusing on the use of new generation remote sensed images acquired with high spatial/temporal resolution (in particular Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2) and on the accuracy improvement of the obtained thematic maps.
