Seminar "Career Workshop" - Ground-based radar interferometry. Principles, applications and future development

Speaker: Dott. Alberto Michelini - I.D.S. GeoRadar S.r.l. | Thursday 13 November 4,30 pm | Arduino Classroom

13.11.2025

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

Seminar - Cyclone-Driven Sediment Pulses and River Morphodynamic Response in Tairāwhiti, Aotearoa New Zealand

Speaker: Prof. Jon Tunnicliffe – University of Auckland, New Zealand | Tuesday 28 October 2025 | 4,30 p.m. | Arduino Classroom

28.10.2025

The Waiapu River is one of the most dynamic rivers in New Zealand (East Coast of the North Island), with the highest sediment yields in the country. A relatively weak lithologic substrate, historic land clearance, and rare but intense extra-tropical cyclones have resulted in exceptionally high rates
