River corridors (channels and floodplains) are active components of the carbon cycle, transporting, transforming, and storing carbon. However, the details of how carbon is partitioned and stored in river corridors are still relatively unexplored. In this seminar, I provide examples of how geomorphic

Meteorites provide key insights on the evolution of the solar system. The recent discovery of a fundamental isotopic dichotomy between non-carbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (C) meteorites attests that the solar system was divided by a physical barrier into two distinct reservoirs. However, the

Evoluzione geologica della Pianura Padana: presentazione del foglio CARG 185 Ferrara

23.01.2026

La Pianura Padana rappresenta uno degli elementi più rilevanti della geomorfologia italiana ed è il risultato di centinaia di migliaia di anni di accumulo sedimentario. In essa si conservano le tracce di complesse interazioni tra clima e tettonica, che hanno dato origine a articolate architetture
