Optical-based monitoring and the characterization of river evolution at long time scales is a key tool in fluvial geomorphology. However, the evolution occurring during extreme events is crucial for the understanding of the river dynamics under severe flow conditions and requires the processing of data from active sensors to overcome cloud obstructions. This work proposes a cloud-based unsupervised algorithm for the intra-event monitoring of river dynamics during extreme flow conditions based on the time series of Sentinel-1 SAR data. The method allows the extraction of multi-temporal series of spatially explicit geometric parameters at high temporal and spatial resolutions, linking them to the hydrometric levels acquired by reference gauge stations. The intra-event reconstruction of inundation dynamics has led to (1) the estimation of the relationship between hydrometric level and wet area extension and (2) the assessment of bank erosion phenomena. In the first case, the behavior exhibits a change when the hydrometric level exceeds 1 m. In the second case, the erosion rate and cumulative lateral erosion were evaluated. The maximum erosion velocity was greater than 1 m\/h, while the cumulative lateral erosion reached 130 m. Time series of SAR acquisitions, provided by Sentinel-1 satellites, were analyzed to quantify changes in the wet area of a reach of the Tagliamento river under different flow conditions. The algorithm, developed within the Python-API of GEE, can support many types of analyses of river dynamics, including morphological changes, floods monitoring, and bio-physical habitat dynamics. The results encourage future advancements and applications of the algorithm, specifically exploring SAR data from ICEYE and Capella Space constellations, which offer significantly higher spatial and temporal resolutions compared to Sentinel-1 data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15143622","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,21]],"date-time":"2023-07-21T01:58:38Z","timestamp":1689904718000},"page":"3622","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Monitoring Braided River-Bed Dynamics at the Sub-Event Time Scale Using Time Series of Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2028-8772","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniele","family":"Rossi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, University of Trento, Via Mesiano 77, 38123 Trento, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2807-7387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guido","family":"Zolezzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, University of Trento, Via Mesiano 77, 38123 Trento, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1158-2379","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Walter","family":"Bertoldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, University of Trento, Via Mesiano 77, 38123 Trento, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8267-5973","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alfonso","family":"Vitti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, University of Trento, Via Mesiano 77, 38123 Trento, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1381","DOI":"10.1002\/wat2.1381","article-title":"Understanding rivers and their social relations: A critical step to advance environmental water management","volume":"6","author":"Anderson","year":"2019","journal-title":"WIREs Water"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2563","DOI":"10.1007\/s10750-022-04916-7","article-title":"Ecosystem services provided by river-floodplain ecosystems","volume":"850","author":"Petsch","year":"2022","journal-title":"Hydrobiologia"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"308","DOI":"10.1017\/S037689290200022X","article-title":"Riverine flood plains: Present state and future trends","volume":"29","author":"Tockner","year":"2002","journal-title":"Environ.
