Seminar - Long-runout landslides with longitudinal ridges in the solar system: what controls their formation?

Speaker: Prof. Giulia Magnarini - Laboratoire de Planétologie et Géosciences, Nantes Université | Tuesday 28 April 2026 | 4,30 p.m. - Arduino Classroom

28.04.2026

Long-runout landslides are amongst the most catastrophic type of mass movements, and yet one of the least understood. Much work has already been done to study the behaviour of these landslides, yet the origin of their hypermobility is poorly understood. One key morphological feature that is

Seminar - Understanding the Complexity of Fluid-Induced Microearthquake Ruptures: Insights from High-Resolution Observations and 3D Dynamic Modeling

Speaker: Prof. Elisa Tinti – Sapienza Università di Roma | Thursday 23 April 2026 | 4,30 p.m. - Classroom 1F

23.04.2026

Understanding the dynamics of microearthquakes is a key challenge in modern seismology, particularly in the context of fluid-induced seismicity. We exploit unique datasets from hydraulic stimulation experiments at the Bedretto Underground Laboratory (Switzerland), where dense near-fault monitoring
