About
G. Forlani is a leading figure in geomatics and engineering, whose research centers on the development and application of advanced geodetic and photogrammetric techniques for environmental monitoring. His major contributions lie in pioneering the use of fixed-base terrestrial stereo-photogrammetry for landslide monitoring, a method that bridges the gap between traditional periodic surveys and continuous, high-frequency observation systems. His seminal 2014 paper on this topic, which has garnered 33 citations, demonstrates how stereo-photogrammetry can achieve the accuracy and temporal resolution previously reserved for robotic total stations and ground-based InSAR, offering a cost-effective and robust alternative for 24/7 hazard assessment. This work has been instrumental in shifting landslide monitoring from episodic measurement to true, real-time surveillance. Forlani’s research has had a lasting impact on the field, providing practitioners with a practical tool for early warning and risk mitigation, and his ongoing work continues to refine these techniques for broader geohazard applications.
