Aspects of Archaeology

Speaker: Prof. Cees Passchier (University of Mainz - Institute of Geosciences) - Tuesday, 17th May – 4:30 PM | Aula Arduino

17.05.2022

Geology and archaeology have many points in common, and many ancient sites benefit from a collaboration of geologists and archaeologists. Of specific interest are ancient water supply systems, probably the greatest technical achievements of antiquity. A specific fruitful topic to study such systems are freshwater carbonate deposits that form in water channels.

Il caso del Sito di Interesse Nazionale (SIN) di Venezia Porto Marghera

Speaker: Dr. Leonardo Mason (Funzionario ARPAV) - Tuesday 3th May – 4:30 PM | Aula Arduino

03.05.2022

Porto Marghera, con la sua superficie complessiva pari a circa 2000 ettari, rappresenta uno dei siti industriali più estesi e importanti del territorio nazionale. Il suo rapporto con il territorio limitrofo in passato è stato conflittuale, a causa delle rilevanti implicazioni ambientali dell’attività industriale e dei conseguenti impatti generati sull’ecosistema lagunare e la terraferma.
