Building planetary atmospheres from magma oceans

Speaker: Dr. Paolo Sossi (Eth, Department of Earth Sciences, Zürich, Switzerland) - Tuesday, 22nd March – 4:30 PM | Aula Arduino

22.03.2022

Atmospheres around some rocky planets may be germane to the development of life. Owing to the energy deposited during accretion, most are thought to have undergone at least one magma ocean stage in their lifetime.

Secular sea-level rise: the role of Solid Earth

Speaker: Prof. Giorgio Spada (Department of Physics and Astronomy - University of Bologna) - Tuesday, 15th March – 4:30 PM | Aula Arduino

15.03.2022

It is well established that the sea-level variations due to the melting of continental ice sheets are characterized by strongly non-uniform spatial and temporal patterns. To a large extent, these result from Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA), a physical process caused by the global and the regional

Hydrocarbons and environmental impact: from exploration to refining

Speaker: Dott. Geol. Mauro Annese (Professional Geologist for hydrocarbon and chemical companies) - Thursday, 11th november – 4:30 PM | Aula Arduino

11.11.2021

Oil is one of the many underground resources, occasionally causing environmental impact when it is transported by tankers, pipelines or during drilling and production operations. The seminar covers the different steps of the oil journey from 12-15.000 feet underground to the service stations, their impact and remedies.

Dwelling in the Anthropocene: sustainable supply chains for the built environment

Speaker: Dott. Luca Valentini (Department of Geosciences - University of Padova) - Thursday 18th november - 4,30 pm | Aula Arduino

18.11.2021

Reconciling the need of meeting the demand for reliable, durable, and cost-effective building materials, without impacting on the environment, poses a societal conundrum and an extraordinary technological challenge. It is reported that nearly 40 billion tonnes of raw materials extracted from the
