Review of satellite resources to assess environmental threats in rammed earth fortifications

The nature of rammed earth fortifications and the environmental conditions where they are located determine pathologies that these structures suffer in presence humidity sources strong winds. objective this project is to revise main mechanisms deterioration evaluate use remote detection as a tool register threats affect their preservation. selected images satellite results offer information about precipitation, ground humidity, temperature, wind intensity direction particles wind. statistical analysis methodologies for large volumes makes it possible acquire daily, monthly yearly maximums, averages minimums variables. application resources GPM, SMAP, MODIS, Merra-2 preventive conservation Andalusia has become useful monitor on global level: temperature.
