Fabio Giulio Tonolo

Dr. Fabio Giulio Tonolo is an Associate Professor at the Politecnico di Torino, Department of Architecture and Design (DAD), specializing in geomatics and remote sensing for urban and environmental applications. His work bridges emergency cartography, UAV photogrammetry, and climate change monitoring through advanced geospatial techniques.

• Academic Roles: Teaching Satellite Remote Sensing and GIS and Advanced Geospatial Data Management at various cycles of the PhD in Urban and Regional Development
• Research Leadership: Scientific Director for projects like MOHYCAM (hydrogeological hazards) and EMERITUS (environmental crimes), with collaborations on glacier monitoring and cultural heritage preservation
• Scientific Affiliations: Secretary of AIT - Italian Remote Sensing Association (2019-2026), former President of IWG-SEM, and active member of ISPRS working groups
• Key Research Themes: Multi-source geospatial data integration, 3D modeling for heritage conservation, satellite-based climate impact analysis, and emergency mapping protocols

His 15 most recent publications focus on remote sensing, glacier monitoring, and cultural heritage digitization, with methodologies spanning from UAV LiDAR to AI-based image segmentation. Dr. Tonolo has received ASITA Federation Best Poster Awards and contributes to editorial boards like ISPRS International Journal.

He supervises PhD students in Urban and Regional Development, leads commercial projects such as 3D metric surveys in Assisi, and participates in international conferences including GISTAM and Gi4DM. His work aligns with SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities) and ERC PE10_14 (Earth Observations).
