Seminar - Geopolymers: From the Earth to the Moon
Speaker: Shima Pilehvar, Department of Engineering – Østfold University College, Norway | Thursday 11 January 2024 – ore 4,30 PM | Arduino classroom

Since water is a highly valuable resource on the lunar surface and not readily available, using building materials with high water demand is practically impossible. Geopolymers consist of silico-aluminates in an amorphous to semi-crystalline three-dimensional structure and exhibit an excellent performance. 3D-printing of geopolymers produced from lunar regolith is an interesting option for space in situ habitats.
Seminar - Porous material in geological processes: From physical principles to applications
Speaker: Marc A. Hesse Department of Geological Sciences - University of Texas, Austin | Thursday 14 December 2023 – ore 4,30 PM | Arduino classroom

Most geological materials are porous and the dynamics of flow, deformation, and reactions in porous media control energy and mass transport in many geological and environmental processes. I will give an overview of three projects that show case fundamental porous media research and its application to the Earth and Planetary Sciences.
Seminar - Career Workshop - Il ruolo del geologo nel settore estrattivo. Dalle risorse del territorio ad una progettazione sostenibile
Speaker: Dr. Geol. Antonio Rigon (Free-Lance Geologist) | Thursday 30 November 2023 – ore 16:30 | Arduino Classroom

Nell’articolato comparto delle attività estrattive il geologo riesce a rivestire con successo la funzione di tecnico, grazie alle conoscenze dei giacimenti, dei cicli produttivi, delle tecniche di estrazione e di valorizzazione dei prodotti, grazie alla capacità di operare nel complesso apparato normativo nonché per la rilevante predisposizione nella valutazione degli impatti derivanti dai lavori di coltivazione. La conoscenza dell’impiantistica e la conseguente abilità di ottimizzare i costi di produzione combinate alla completa disponibilità di operare in cantiere, conferiscono al geologo un ruolo fondamentale per la progettazione e per una corretta gestione operativa di cave e miniere, per la prevenzione e la sicurezza dei lavoratori e per la tutela dell’ambiente.
Seminar - The “complex” electrical conductivity of ice and frozen ground
Speaker: Dr. Dr. Adrian Flores-Orozco (Department of Geodesy and Geoinformation, Technical University of Wien - Austria) | Thursday, November, 23, 2023 – 4.30 PM | Arduino Classroom

This Seminar will revise ongoing approaches in the investigation of alpine permafrost using geophysical electrical methods and demonstrate the importance of accounting for interfacial conductivity in the case of frozen ground, as presented in Figure 1. Moreover, the seminar will present some of our recent results regarding the application of transient electromagnetic soundings to delineate ice‐rich areas in alpine permafrost. To this end, we propose a stochastic modeling and inversion approach explicitly considering interfacial conductivity that permits us to evaluate the uncertainty of the resulting model parameters.
