The forecasted increase in extreme meteorological events and related natural hazards is impelling our Society to explore and develop new strategies and technologies to effectively face and manage the connected risks. Project DOMINO aims at contributing to this effort by developing novel optical fiber sensors to monitor two of the most frequent events related to recent climate trend, namely floods and debris flows.
As for the former DOMINO is exploring the possibility of applying novel fiber sensors to monitor river embankments and dikes in order to detect the anomalous infiltration processes, which can bring the retaining structure to collapse. Concerning debris flows the proposal will deal with the monitoring of ground vibration induced by the flowing material along the channel in a distributed mode so to improve the current discrete detection made by geophones. In both cases, the novel sensors will allow the decision makers to have more time to deliver a warning signal to the population potentially at risk.
DOMINO will pursue these goals along two main research lines: the development of a distributed optical fiber sensors for ground vibration measurement, to be used in debris-flow monitoring, and the development of distributed and quasi-distributed fiber optic sensors for pressure measurement, to be mainly used in the monitoring of dikes.
DOMINO started on May 1st, 2016, and will last 3 years.
