La télédétection ouvre des perspectives nouvelles pour l’étude et la surveillance des volcans. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, différentes approches ont été abordées. L’imagerie satellite optique et thermique permet d’avoir une vue synoptique sur une large surface. La compréhension des changements d’état de surface est particulièrement importante dans le suivi de l’activité des volcans actifs. Plusieurs questions se posent : • Quels avantages offrent les satellites optiques d’observation de la Terre pour les calculs des volumes de lave émis ? • Quelles sont leurs limites ? • Les calculs de débits réalisés par télédétection sont-ils fiables ? • Quel est l’intérêt d’une approche multi-outils et multi-source ? Ces questions ont été abordées en prenant le Piton de la Fournaise pour cible. Plusieurs méthodes ont été mises en oeuvre et testées : 1) L’extraction automatique des contours de coulées de lave, 2) la création de modèle numérique d’élévation (MNE) par imagerie satellite, 3) le calcul de débits à partir d’images thermiques, 4) le suivi post éruptif d’une coulée par la modélisation de son refroidissement et la mesure des déformations observées in-situ. La plus-value de ce travail est la capacité de valider les résultats des modèles issus de la télédétection par des mesures in situ du fait de la proximité des sites étudiés. L’utilisation de ces techniques a permis d’obtenir des débits moyens d’écoulement des laves pour plusieurs éruptions et de suivre l’évolution topographique du volcan et de ses grandes structures. Les mesures thermiques par satellite fournissent le moyen de contraindre les variations du débit des éruptions dans le temps, tandis que les MNE ont permis d’obtenir un volume total dans le cas de coulées présentant de fortes épaisseurs. Grâce à ces techniques, il a été possible de définir deux types d’éruptions avec des évolutions semblables à celles observées sur différents volcans comme l’Etna (Italie) ou le Krafla (Islande). Les problèmes de nébulosité étant récurrent sur notre zone d’étude, la complémentarité des techniques est particulièrement intéressante pour obtenir une information fiable. Toutes les techniques utilisées dans cette thèse sont applicables à d’autres volcans ou à d’autres thématiques. / Remote sensing opens new perspectives for the study and monotoring of volcanoes. In this thesis, different approaches were discussed. optical and thermal satellite imagery provides a synoptic view over a wide area. The understanding of surface state changes is particulary important in the monotoring of the activity of active volcanoes. Several, questions arise: • What advantages offer optical observation satellites of the Earth for calculations of lava volumes issues? • What are their limits? • Calculations of flow by remote sensing are reliable? • What is the interest of a multi-tool and multi-source approach? These issues were addressed by taking the Piton de la Fournaise to target. Several methods have been implemented and tested: 1) automatic extraction of the contours of flows of lava, 2) the cretion of numerical model of elevation (DEM) imaging satellite, 3) the calculation of flows from thermal images, 4) follow-up post eruptive flow modelling of cooling and the observed deformations in-situ measurement. The added value of this work is the ability to validate the results of remote sensing measurements from models because of the proximity of the sites studied in situ. The use of these techniques to obtain the average flow rates of lavas to several eruptions and follow topographic evolution of the volcano and its large structures. Satellite thermal measurements provide the means of forcing changes in the flow of eruptions over time, while Dems helped to obtain a total volume in the case of flows with high thicknesses. With these techniques, it was possible to define two types of erutions with changes similar to those observed on different volcanoes.

Soil and terrain changes as a result of increased erosion and accumulation processes in selected locations Abstract Colluvial soils are formed in areas with increased intensity of soil erosion. Colluvial soils originate as a result of their position in terrain, they are usually found in places where has accumulated erosion material. Very often they are to be found at the around of slopes. Their accumulation horizon is deeper than 25 cm with a great amount of organic carbon buried in it. In my diploma thesis I will attempt to take a closer look at three locations, each having different types of dominant soils. The aim of this diploma thesis is to rebuild the original shape of the terrain before the beginning of the soil erosion process. Keywords: colluvial soil, soil erosion, soil accumulation, land use, digital terrain model (DTM)

Research purpose: to determine the patterns of fluctuations in the water flow regime that occur in the outlet channel of the Kruonis Pumped Storage Plant and the nearest part of Kaunas Lagoon. Research method: numerical modeling of hydrodynamics in the MIKE21 environment. A digital terrain model of the reverse channel bottom consisting of a rectangular grid network (grid), made following the latest bathymetric measurements, was used for the hydrodynamic model. The elementary grid cell dimentions in the model were 5x5 m. To describe the boundary conditions of the model, time functions which express the water flow rate changes over time of each hydrounit in different operating modes of the KPSP were chosen. The fixed Kaunas Reservoir water level was set in the model as the other open boundary. The results of the hydrodynamic modeling were output and recorded at each computational time step and their analysis was performed using MIKE21 software package tools. To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the hydrodynamic simulation results, a verification of the model was performed, which used the results of visual monitoring of actually measured water level dynamics and flow vector field directions . Analyzing the findings of simulation, consistent patterns of the... [to full text]

Esta tese propôs uma metodologia para detecção de áreas susceptíveis a deslizamentos de terra a partir de imagens aéreas, culminando no desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta computacional, denominada SASD/T, para testar a metodologia. Para justificar esta pesquisa, um levantamento sobre os desastres naturais da história brasileira relacionada a deslizamentos de terra e as metodologias utilizadas para a detecção e análise de áreas susceptíveis a deslizamentos de terra foi realizado. Estudos preliminares de visualização 3D e conceitos relacionados ao mapeamento 3D foram realizados. Estereoscopia foi implementada para visualizar tridimensionalmente a região selecionada. As altitudes foram encontradas através de paralaxe, a partir dos pontos homólogos encontrados pelo algoritmo SIFT. Os experimentos foram realizados com imagens da cidade de Nova Friburgo. O experimento inicial mostrou que o resultado obtido utilizando SIFT em conjunto com o filtro proposto, foi bastante significativo ao ser comparado com os resultados de Fernandes (2008) e Carmo (2010), devido ao número de pontos homólogos encontrados e da superfície gerada. Para detectar os locais susceptíveis a deslizamentos, informações como altitude, declividade, orientação e curvatura foram extraídas dos pares estéreos e, em conjunto com as variáveis inseridas pelo usuário, forneceram uma análise de quão uma determinada área é susceptível a deslizamentos. A metodologia proposta pode ser estendida para a avaliação e previsão de riscos de deslizamento de terra de qualquer outra região, uma vez que permite a interação com o usuário, de modo que este especifique as características, os itens e as ponderações necessárias à análise em questão. / The purpose of this thesis is a methodology to detect locations susceptible to landslides from the aerial images, culminating in the development of software, denominated SASD/T, to testing the methodology. To justify this research, a survey about natural disasters in Brazilian history related to landslides and methodologies used for detection and analysis of areas susceptible to landslides was realized. Preliminaries studies of the 3D visualization and concepts related to 3D mapping of an area were carried out. The stereoscopy technique was implemented to visualize three-dimensionally the selected region. Altitudes were found via parallax, from the homologous points found by the SIFT algorithm. The experiments were performed with Nova Friburgo city images. The initial experiment showed that the results obtained using the SIFT algorithm together with the proposed filter was highly significant when compared with the results of Fernandes (2008) and Carmo (2010), due to the number of homologous points found and the generated surface. To detect locations susceptible to landslides, information such as altitude, slope, aspect and curvature areas was extracted from the stereo pairs and, together with the variables entered by the user, was provided an analysis of how a particular area is susceptible to landslides. The proposed methodology can be extended to the evaluation and prediction of landslide risks in any other region, since it allows interaction with the user, so that it specifies the characteristics, the items and the weights needed for the analysis in question.
