Ground-based radar interferometry Principles, applications and future developments - Seminario di "Avvio al Lavoro"

Speaker: Dott. Alberto Michelini, IDS GeoRadar s.r.l., Pisa (Italy) - Giovedì 10 Novembre - ore 16,30 | Aula Arduino

10.11.2022

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 of the measured scene.

Turbidity currents and seabed infrastructures: insights from numerical models - Seminario di "Avvio al lavoro"

Speaker: Dott. Carlos Pirmez, CEO and founder of Weather Water Sand Srl, Genova (Italy) - Giovedì 3 Novembre – ore 16,30 | Aula Arduino

03.11.2022

Turbidity currents are known to travel hundreds to thousands of kilometers into the deep ocean, reaching velocities as high as 20 m/s with potentially catastrophic consequences to infrastructure installed along their path. The submarine cable industry has experienced their impact since the first cables have been installed across the Atlantic, for instance after the 1929 Grand Banks earthquake, and several other events across the globe since then.

Understanding and forecasting magma pathways and the location of eruptive vents

Speaker: Prof.ssa Eleonora Rivalta, Università di Bologna, Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia - Giovedì 13 Ottobre – ore 16,30 | Aula Arduino

Magma is transported through the brittle-elastic lithosphere by diking. Diking is a mechanism similar to hydraulic fracturing where a volume of fluid occupies a crack which propagates by fracturing rock ahead and pinching shut at its back.

Seminar - Towards more robust evaluation and use of environmental models against climate uncertainty

Speaker: Dr.ssa Francesca Pianosi, University of Bristol, UK - Water & Environmental Engineering - 21 Settembre – ore 12,00 | Aula Arduino and “Live” on-line at Zoom: https://unipd.link/721

21.09.2022

Computer models are essential tools in the earth system sciences. They underpin our search for understanding of earth systems functioning and support decision-making across spatial and temporal scales. Ever growing computing power and data availability enable the construction of increasingly complex and coupled models of human-environment interactions. Yet while these progresses make models capable (in principle) of addressing new questions, they rarely help reducing the uncertainties associated with model responses.

A Tu per Tutor - 28 luglio 2022 ore 15

28.07.2022

L'obiettivo di questi incontri, quest'anno proposti in videoconferenza a studentesse e studenti del quarto e quinto anno della scuola secondaria (di 2° grado) e - in generale - a quanti intendono immatricolarsi all'Università, è agevolare il passaggio dalla scuola all'università supportando ragazzi e ragazze nel recupero di tutte le informazioni di carattere generale e pratico (modalità d'accesso, avvisi di ammissione, servizi).
