Inizia lo studio medico di Eurac Research che accompagna la spedizione femminile sul K2 promossa dal CAI.

Premier Giorgia Meloni on her visit yesterday to Bolzano’s NOI Techpark took the opportunity to visit our terraXcube: a unique infrastructure which can simulate the most extreme climates and all climate scenarios on Earth and one of a kind in Italy.

South Tyrolean artist Peter Senoner artworks created in the terraXcube under extreme climatic conditions evoke altered habitats and resource scarcity. Three of these pieces are now returning to the terraXcube – permanently.

A prototype radar system that instantly analyzes the composition of the snowpack during melting has recently been tested in terraXcube’s Large Cube. The system called “Snowave” was developed by the University of Pavia’s Microwave Laboratory and later improved and fine-tuned in part by the “CRIOSAR: SAR Applications to the Cryosphere” project funded by the Italian Space Agency with the involvement of the Eurac Research experts.

Over the past few days, two types of MAVTechhttps://www.mavtech.eu/  company drones have been put through their paces to test their usability in high-altitude, complex alpine environments in the terraXcubehttps://terraxcube.eurac.edu/ . It was the first time our Large Cube was used to test drones in free flight.
