Our Research Highlights:
🏢 A Novel Two-Stage Approach for Buildings and Roads Damage Assessment in Remote Sensing Imagery - A combined methodology for rapid infrastructure damage evaluation, merging delineation and change detection in one model.

🔥 Wildfires Meet Multitask Learning: Enhancing Burned Area Delineation With Land Cover Classification - Making burn scar detection more precise across different geographical landscapes.

🌊 A Multi-source Approach for Enhanced Flood Delineation Using Harmonised Satellite Data - Enhanced flood monitoring capabilities through satellite data fusion, merging Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 information when available.

These contributions highlight the strategic role of satellite data, AI, and collaborative EU-funded research in enhancing crisis management and climate resilience.
