Activity

Daniela Stroppiana's research activity focuses on the use of satellite images for natural resourse monitoring. In particular, images acquired by medium/coarse spatial resolution space-borne optical sensors for regional up to global studies such as: Landsat TM/ETM+, SPOT-VEGETATION, NOAA-AVHRR and NASA-MODIS.

A specific research interest is monitoring forest fires with optical and radar satellite data at regional scale and, specifically, the development of automatic algorithms for mapping areas affected by fires.

Since 2004 she is part of IREA-CNR, natural resources and agriculture monitoring team as research fellow (2004-2014) first and from 2014 as researcher.

She was technical manager of the SPACE4AGRI  (Sviluppo di metodologie aerospaziali innovative di osservazione della terra a supporto del settore agricolo in Lombardia) project coordinated by IREA-CNR and funded by Regione Lombardia (2013-2015). She also partecipated to the FP7 ERMES (an Earth obseRvation Model based ricE information Service) project, coordinated by IREA-CNR and funded by the European Commission (2014-2017); in ERMES she supervised algorithms and products of the rice and flooding mapping activities.

She is now coordinator of the IREA-CNR activities within the Hot Spot Mapping project funded by EC-JRC and coordinated by E-geos focusing on land cover and land cover change mapping. 

Curriculum

Daniela STROPPIANA graduated in Environmental Engineering, at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, on February 1998. She has now more than 15 years experience in remote sensing techniques for vegetation monitoring. Her research activities focused on the use of low resolution data for large scale monitoring of vegetation conditions. In particular, burnt area mapping at continental scale in Australia was the topic of her PhD in Forestry Engineering discussed at the Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal in April 2005 and carried out during her staying at the EC-JRC, Ispra, Italy between 1998 and 2002.

At the Istituto Agronomico per l’Oltremare, Florence, Italy, (2002-2004) she was involved in a project that aimed to estimate crop yield reduction due to water deficit in Chad, Africa; this project also offered her the opportunity of organizing and teaching a training course at Agrhymet, Niamey, Niger, on the use of water balance models for crop yield reduction assessment.

Since 2004, she has been working at the National Research Council, Institute for Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment (IREA CNR), Milan, Italy. Here she gained experience on the estimation of biophysical parameters of the vegetation cover in both natural and agricultural ecosystems with a focus on the integration of field  and remotely sensed data. She has been involved in the GMES project of the European Commission Geoland and Geolnad-2 for environmental status assessment in Africa. She has also had the opportunity of carrying on her research on burned area mapping at regional scale from medium resolution satellite data with a particular interest on the integration of optical and radar data.

She was involved in national and international projects coordinated by IREA-CNR and focusing on crop monitoring. In particular, she was Technical Manager of the Space4Agri project funded by Regione Lombardia (2013-2015) and supervisor of rice and flooding mapping activities in the FP7-ERMES project (2014-2017). 

In the recent years she has grown interest and experience in developing methodologies for the integration of optical and SAR data for monitoring agriculture and vegetation fires. 

At present she is coordinator of IREA-CNR's activities within the "Framework Service Contract No. 199552 for Global Land High Resolution Hot Spot Monitoring within the Global Land Component of the Copernicus Land Service (C-GL-HRM)" coordinated by E-geos.
