Water scarcity is a growing challenge in the Mediterranean region that is intensifying with global change as documented by FAO report. Accurate evapotranspiration (ET) estimation using remote sensing (RS) observations is vital for forest and crop irrigation management but faces challenges from cloud

Seminario - Progress and challenges to earthquake predictability

Relatore: Warner Marzocchi, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II | Martedì 26 Marzo - ore 16.30 | Aula Arduino

26.03.2024

Earthquake predictability is the essential scientific ingredient for any sound seismic risk mitigation planning. But what do we really know about earthquake predictability? Since the optimistic approach to deterministic earthquake prediction in the seventies, seismological community is moving towards probabilistic forecasts, in which seismologists can estimate probabilities for the earthquake occurrence in any specific space‐magnitude‐time windows.

Seminario di “Avvio al lavoro” Il telerilevamento con drone

Relatore: Dott. Geol Stefano Brugnaro, libero professionista | Martedì 19 Marzo 2024 – ore 16,30 | Aula Arduino

19.03.2024

La crescente digitalizzazione cartografica ha visto una forte evoluzione circa l’utilizzo nella professione del geologo dei rilievi tramite drone (Sistema Aeromobili a Pilotaggio Remoto), sia in contesto civile che ambientale e territoriale. La capacità di gestire sensori di differente natura ha agevolato l’esponenziale utilizzo tecnico applicativo, soprattutto da figure professionali già inserite nel settore topografico. Ad oggi il drone viene utilizzato come strumento per l’acquisizione di informazioni dall’alto e quindi la ricostruzione di modelli bidimensionali e tridimensionali.

Seminario - Rivers, humans and the carbon-rich soils of the ancient Amazon

Relatore: Dr. Taylor Perron - Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) – Earth Atmospheric & Planetary Sciences. | Martedì 12 Marzo 2024 – ore 16,30 | Aula Arduino

The seminar show how South American river systems created a template for this successful agricultural strategy, argue that ancient people managed soil using practices that are still employed today by Amazonian indigenous groups, and demonstrate the potential for carbon storage in anthropogenic soils. Along the way, the seminar will consider the climate sensitivity of rivers and some lessons from the past about sustainable tropical agriculture.

Seminario di “Avvio al Lavoro” The role of the geologist in the design field

Relatore: Dott. Geol Pietro Buiatti - F & M Ingegneria - Mirano (VE) | Martedì 5 Marzo 2024 – ore 16,30 | Aula Arduino

Currently we are increasingly surrounded by works and constructions that range from the most complex structures to the simplest, so much so that they can be defined as almost “ordinary”. Perhaps the habit of crossing a bridge or entering in a building, for those unfamiliar with the design sector, often leads to underestimate or not considering the difficulties faced during the design phase of the aforementioned works. Technical design is a fascinating but also complex world, bringing with it technical but also administrative difficulties. This seminar will offer a moment of discussion for all those interested in learning more about the field of planning and in particular the role of the geologist in this multidisciplinary activity, both in the private and in the public sector.
