In the second episode of the mini-series on the Venice Lagoon we begin to discover the salt marshes, one of the most characteristic morphological structures of this humid environment. We will be discovering which depositional dynamics guarantee their survival in the face of rising sea levels.We will

The awards ceremony for the murales contest "Leave Your Mark" took place on Friday 11 November at the Library of the Department of Geosciences. Lorenzo Doppiu, winner of the contest with a project titled “What comes next”, was awarded together with Rebecca Rajesh Peter who collaborated on the graphic design.
Speaker: Dr. Gianluca Gola, CNR - Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources, Pisa (Italy) - Thursday 24 November - 4,30 pm | Aula Arduino

Geothermal energy, defined as the thermal energy stored in the Earth, is considered a critical renewable energy source for the future, capable of contributing to environmentally friendly carbon-neutral energy conversion. To evaluate the underground geothermal potential, the knowledge of the temperature distribution with depth is a key aspect.
Speaker: Prof. Chris Marone (Università di Roma La Sapienza, Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra) - 1st Dicembre - 4,30 pm | Aula Arduino

This talk will summarize how machine learning (ML) is being used with both active and passive lab seismic data to predict lab earthquakes. These works show: 1) that ML can predict the timing and magnitude of labquakes using acoustic emissions (AE) that originate in the lab fault zone and 2) that in addition to these passive measurements of lab AE, active source measurements of changes in fault zone elastic properties during the lab seismic cycle can be used to predict lab earthquakes.
Speaker: Dott. Alberto Michelini, IDS GeoRadar s.r.l., Pisa (Italy) - Thursday 10 November - 4,30 pm | Aula Arduino

Ground-based radar interferometry (GBRI) is a remote sensing imaging technique based on coherent radar systems, which can measure not only the amplitude, but also the phase of the microwave signals. The phase measurements can then be exploited to derive information on the deformation and topography
Speaker: Dott. Carlos Pirmez, CEO and founder of Weather Water Sand Srl, Genova (Italy) - Thursday 3 November – 4,30 pm | Aula Arduino

The first episode of the mini-series about the Venice Lagoon is dedicated to the typical morphological structures of this peculiar environment: the salt marshes, the tidal flats and the channel networks.
Speaker: Prof.ssa Elena Rivalta, University of Bologna, Department of Physics and Astronomy - Thursday 13 October – 4,30 PM | Aula Arduino

Magma is transported through the brittle-elastic lithosphere by diking. Diking is a mechanism similar to hydraulic fracturing where a volume of fluid occupies a crack which propagates by fracturing rock ahead and pinching shut at its back.
Speaker: Dr.ssa Francesca Pianosi, University of Bristol, UK - Water & Environmental Engineering - 21 September – 12.00 a.m. | Arduino Classroom and “Live” on-line at Zoom: https://unipd.link/721

Computer models are essential tools in the earth system sciences. They underpin our search for understanding of earth systems functioning and support decision-making across spatial and temporal scales. Ever growing computing power and data availability enable the construction of increasingly complex and coupled models of human-environment interactions. Yet while these progresses make models capable (in principle) of addressing new questions, they rarely help reducing the uncertainties associated with model responses.
