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

Relatore: Prof. Charles Galdies - Institute of Earth Systems, University of Malta | Giovedì 6 Novembre 2025 | ore 16,30 - Aula Arduino

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

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

Relatore: Prof. Jon Tunnicliffe – University of Auckland, New Zealand | Martedì 28 Ottobre 2025 | ore 16,30 Aula Arduino

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

From foreshock to mainshock: transient sliding velocity sets nucleation timestyle

François Passelègue – Géoazur, CNRS, Nizza | Giovedì 16 ottobre 2025 | ore 16,30 - Aula Arduino

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
