Seminar - A new look at an old landscape: the chronology of the Kalahari Group sediments

Speaker: Prof. Ari Matmon - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem - Institute of Earth Sciences I Tuesday 7 May - 4.30 PM | Classroom 0B - Complesso didattico “Fiore di Botta” (via del Pescarotto 8)

The Kalahari Basin, southern Africa, is one of the world’s largest cratonic basins. It is believed that the sediments filling it, the Kalahari Group Sediments (KGS), have been deposited at least since 65Ma.However, dating results are surprising, indicating that the entire depth of the KGS is

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

Seminar - Progress and challenges to earthquake predictability

Speaker: Warner Marzocchi, University of Naples, Federico II | Tuesday 26 March - 4.30 PM | Arduino Classroom

26.03.2024

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.
