ICFS2021 - Road to ICFS2022: the International Conference of Fluvial Sedimentology returns on 14 and 15 July 2021
Two days of presentations and free virtual excursions dedicated to fluvial research. Registration open until 9th of July 2021
Saturated clayey sediments can promote shallow earthquakes in subduction zones
The study, published in Nature Communications, highlights the relationship between the pressurization of fluids in fault zones and the reduction of the energy necessary for the propagation of the seismic rupture
The Department of Geosciences starts a new series of seminars for the second semester of the a.y. 2020/2021
The events will take place on Zoom and will be open to anyone interested
Yearbook 2020: the second edition of the yearbook of the Department of Geosciences is now online
