Profile

I am Giovanni D’Amico, I graduated at the University of Florence where I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Forest and Environmental Sciences and a Master's degree in Forest Systems Sciences and Technologies (110/110 cum laude).

My research focuses on analysis of remote sensing data for the detection and management of forest resources.

My other interest is music, indeed I hold a Diploma in Percussion Instruments at the Conservatory “Maderna” in Cesena. 

Research interests and PhD project

My main research interests focus on forest inventories, remote sensing, and geomatics. Remote sensing applications using multiple sources of information to support sustainable forest management.
