The role of TerrAria in the scientific community   

TerrAria often collaborates with research organisations and universities and is able to develop algorithms, methodologies and models, which are then acknowledged and validated by the scientific community through publication in specialised/sector paper, following the review process.
The referees of TerrAria have gained, in their professional career, an activity of study and research where many of the experiences have allowed them to acquire a recognizable identity and presence that is expressed in significant publications below (the list is not exhaustive).
