1) Remote Sensing, thesis title “Monitoraggio di colture agricole mediante dati satellitari Aster: problematiche e applicazioni” (Agricultural crops monitoring through satellite Aster data: problems and applications). Thermic Aster data analysis for temperature study;
2) Geographic Information System (Emilia-Romagna DB test and creation of a GIS for the growing data management);
3) GPS (GPS7 network densification analysis for Bologna areas).
