🛰️ New open-source tool from our group: Sentinel Foundry v1.0.0

Our PhD researcher Enrico Magazzino has released Sentinel Foundry, a desktop UI that turns raw Sentinel imagery into analysis-ready Cloud-Optimised GeoTIFFs, point-and-click, no command line needed.

📡 SAR Foundry (Sentinel-1)
GRD → calibrated, speckle-filtered, terrain-corrected ARD via ESA SNAP. Choose σ⁰ standard, γ⁰ RTC (terrain-flattened), or import your own SNAP graph. Outputs VV, VH, cross-ratio, RVI, and difference bands per orbit, plus up to 3 custom NumPy expressions. Downloads from ASF or Copernicus CDSE with retry logic and integrity checks that catch corrupted archives before they ever reach SNAP.

🌱 Optical Foundry (Sentinel-2)
L2A from AWS EarthSearch — completely free, no account needed. SCL cloud masking, then biophysical variables (LAI, FAPAR, FCOVER, canopy chlorophyll and water content), spectral bands, and indices like NDVI, NDRE1, MTCI, EVI, all as 10m COGs, with per-tile mosaicking when your AOI spans MGRS tiles.

Everything is self-installing on first run. Windows build available now; run from source on any OS. MIT licensed — and if you use it in your research, the "Cite this repository" button on GitHub gives you a ready-made citation.

📌 Sentinel Foundry will also be presented as a poster at ASITA 2026, the Italian Conference on Geomatics and Geospatial Technologies (Bologna, 17–20 November 2026), with an accompanying article in the Atti ASITA 2026 conference annals.

Developed during Enrico's PhD at the TESAF Department, University of Padova, with a scholarship funded by the European Union — NextGenerationEU under the Italian PNRR (MD 630/2024).

The 3DOM research unit at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) in Trento, Italy, is offering a fully funded PhD position supervised at the TESAF Department with the support of CIRGEO, the Interdepartmental Research Center of Geomatics at the University of Padova.

The project focuses on multi-modal surveying in forest environments, integrating photogrammetry, laser scanning (mobile, aerial, terrestrial, drone), hyperspectral imaging, radar remote sensing, and AI-based fusion techniques to push the boundaries of forest parameter detection.

We are looking for a candidate with a strong programming mindset and a background in computer science, engineering, or environmental/forestry sciences, with experience in 3D spatial data, point clouds, and geospatial datasets.

📍 Location: Trento, Italy
🏛️ Host: FBK – Fondazione Bruno Kessler (https://www.linkedin.com/company/fbkresearch/), 3DOM unit (https://www.linkedin.com/company/65849767/)
🎓 PhD School: LERH, University of Padova
👉 News on the call and application process will soon be available here: https://www.tesaf.unipd.it/en/research/phd-lerh-program/news

Decodes the elephants' GNSS tracks into four distinct behavioral states: Sleeping, Resting, Foraging, and Rapid Movement. This classification allows us to move beyond simple coordinate tracking and understand why an elephant is in a specific location, whether they are conserving energy or actively searching for resources.

Elephants where observed to hesitate and "bounce" off the location of a fence line even after it was physically removed. This logic helps us visualize the lasting memory of spatial boundaries and how long it takes for elephants to unlearn these mental barriers.
