Seminar - UrbanClimate: Assessing the Impact of Traditional Buildings on UHIs in Historical Urban Centres Under Current and Future Climate Conditions

Speaker: Prof. Charles Galdies - Institute of Earth Systems, University of Malta | Thursday 6 November 2025 | 4,30 p.m. - Arduino Classroom

06.11.2025

The UrbanClimate project investigates how traditional Mediterranean architecture can mitigate urban heat stress under a changing climate. This research project - funded by Xjenza Malta’s Space Research Fund - builds on prior research into the thermal performance of traditional versus modern roofs in

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

Seminar - Drilling Down the Data: A Deep Learning Dive into IODP Cores

Speaker: Prof. Cédric John - QMUL - United Kingdom | Thursday 23 October 2025 | 4,30 p.m. Arduino Classroom

23.10.2025

The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) has generated an extraordinary archive of core data essential for understanding Earth’s geological history, yet interpreting this information remains challenging due to data complexity, scale, and subjectivity.My research group addresses these challenges

From foreshock to mainshock: transient sliding velocity sets nucleation timestyle

François Passelègue – Géoazur, CNRS, Nice | Thursday 16 october 2025 | 4,30 p.m. - Arduino Classroom

16.10.2025

Coseismic rupture is commonly preceded by stable fault slip, which may accelerate into dynamic rupture as the slip front reaches critical velocities. However, the physical conditions that govern this nucleation process remain poorly constrained.Classical theoretical frameworks typically neglect

Garnet: not quite as cubic as one might think

Speaker: Prof. Bernardo Cesare - Department of Geosciences | Thursday 2 October 2025 | 4,30 p.m. Arduino Classroom

02.10.2025

Since the first report in 2019 on the tetragonal structure of common garnet in low-T metamorphic rocks, many new occurrences have been discovered, including blueschists from the Franciscan Complex, Syros and Aosta Valley, and phyllites from the iconic Barrow garnet zone of Scotland and from the Alps

Delete your shapefile, share your maps: beyond static maps

Speaker: Dr. Roberto Maria Rossi (Geographic Information Systems Laboratory) - Dipartimento di Geoscienze | Tuesday 23 September 2025 | 9,30 a.m. to 12,30 p.m. | Classroom 2G

23.09.2025

Why keep our maps in our computers when we can easily share them?We often represent the result of our analyses as geospatial data in maps. These are usually stored as project files or documents on our computers and, when shared, are often distributed only as static images or tables embedded in

Fantastic Data and Where to Find Them: Learn to use GIS Services

Speaker: Dr. Roberto Maria Rossi - Department of Geosciences | Wednesday 10 September 2025 | 2,00 - 5,00 pm - Classroom 2G

10.09.2025

This seminar will explore how to use raster data (e.g. ortophotos, DTMs), and vector data (e.g. thematic polygons), in both OGC protocols (WMS, WMTS, WFS, WCS) and REST services. We'll also see how REST services can be used in geoprocessing workflows or to download selected datasets for offline use.
