Industrial Minerals (IM) are essential to economic development: we can say they are the foundation of the economy. IM are usually cheap products, so it’s difficult to import them and they need to be mined/produced next to their main utilizers. This means we have the opportunity to apply the best

Water scarcity is a growing challenge in the Mediterranean region that is intensifying with global change as documented by FAO report. Accurate evapotranspiration (ET) estimation using remote sensing (RS) observations is vital for forest and crop irrigation management but faces challenges from cloud

Earthquake predictability is the essential scientific ingredient for any sound seismic risk mitigation planning. But what do we really know about earthquake predictability? Since the optimistic approach to deterministic earthquake prediction in the seventies, seismological community is moving towards probabilistic forecasts, in which seismologists can estimate probabilities for the earthquake occurrence in any specific space‐magnitude‐time windows.

La crescente digitalizzazione cartografica ha visto una forte evoluzione circa l’utilizzo nella professione del geologo dei rilievi tramite drone (Sistema Aeromobili a Pilotaggio Remoto), sia in contesto civile che ambientale e territoriale. La capacità di gestire sensori di differente natura ha agevolato l’esponenziale utilizzo tecnico applicativo, soprattutto da figure professionali già inserite nel settore topografico. Ad oggi il drone viene utilizzato come strumento per l’acquisizione di informazioni dall’alto e quindi la ricostruzione di modelli bidimensionali e tridimensionali.

The seminar show how South American river systems created a template for this successful agricultural strategy, argue that ancient people managed soil using practices that are still employed today by Amazonian indigenous groups, and demonstrate the potential for carbon storage in anthropogenic soils. Along the way, the seminar will consider the climate sensitivity of rivers and some lessons from the past about sustainable tropical agriculture.

Currently we are increasingly surrounded by works and constructions that range from the most complex structures to the simplest, so much so that they can be defined as almost “ordinary”. Perhaps the habit of crossing a bridge or entering in a building, for those unfamiliar with the design sector, often leads to underestimate or not considering the difficulties faced during the design phase of the aforementioned works. Technical design is a fascinating but also complex world, bringing with it technical but also administrative difficulties. This seminar will offer a moment of discussion for all those interested in learning more about the field of planning and in particular the role of the geologist in this multidisciplinary activity, both in the private and in the public sector.

Advanced numerical modelling and remote sensing techniques can play a crucial role in the challenge of managing the risks caused by geohazards. Junaid Khan is a Ph.D. student from Pakistan who has just started his project at the Department of Geosciences of the University of Padua, in the framework of the Excellence Project "Geosciences for Sustainable Development", working on monitoring, mitigating and forecasting geohazards through A.I. techniques by using remote sensing optical and SAR data.

Geothermal energy is a form of renewable energy that uses the heat from the underground. In general, the drilling part of a geothermal project is one of the most expensive. In Italy there are more than 5000 wells that are now abandoned or mineral closed and the data collected during the exploration

Easily accessible deep geothermal resources for heating and power are fundamental for accelerating the decarbonisation of energy supplies in Europe. The goal of the DeepU project is increasing the accessibility of deep geothermal resources for low carbon heating and power generation, by offering a substantial reduction of well drilling costs to deliver deep heat exchange systems. The project, coordinated by the University of Padua, is funded by the European Union and the technical feasibility of DeepU technology, based on an absolute innovation on the use of laser techniques for deep drilling, is demonstrated at the laboratory scale.
