Ground-based radar interferometry Principles, applications and future developments - Career Workshop

Speaker: Dott. Alberto Michelini, IDS GeoRadar s.r.l., Pisa (Italy) - Thursday 10 November - 4,30 pm | Aula Arduino

10.11.2022

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

Turbidity currents and seabed infrastructures: insights from numerical models - Career Workshop

Speaker: Dott. Carlos Pirmez, CEO and founder of Weather Water Sand Srl, Genova (Italy) - Thursday 3 November – 4,30 pm | Aula Arduino

03.11.2022

Turbidity currents are known to travel hundreds to thousands of kilometers into the deep ocean, reaching velocities as high as 20 m/s with potentially catastrophic consequences to infrastructure installed along their path. The submarine cable industry has experienced their impact since the first

Understanding and forecasting magma pathways and the location of eruptive vents

Speaker: Prof.ssa Elena Rivalta, University of Bologna, Department of Physics and Astronomy - Thursday 13 October – 4,30 PM | Aula Arduino

13.10.2022

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.

Seminar - Towards more robust evaluation and use of environmental models against climate uncertainty

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

21.09.2022

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.

Monitoring Coastal Wetlands Using Remote Sensing Data: the NASA Delta-X project

Speaker: Prof. Sergio Fagherazzi, Earth & Environment Department, Boston University - Wednesday, 15th June – 3:30 PM | Aula Arduino

14.06.2022

Deltas are sinking. All large deltas are in peril or on the verge. They cannot grow fast enough to offset sea-level rise and subsidence (sinking) of land. Deltas are the babies of the geological timescale. They are very young and fragile, in a delicate balance of sinking and growing.
