Seminario - How excavation activity is both a blessing and a curse for the paleontological heritage: the case study of the fossils from the “lastame” in the Verona province (Northern Italy)

Relatore: Pietro Calzoni - Dipartimento di Geoscienze - Università di Padova | Lunedì 17 Novembre 2025 | ore 16,30 - Aula Arduino

Seminario di "Avvio al lavoro" - Ground-based radar interferometry. Principles, applications and future development

Relatore: Dott. Alberto Michelini - I.D.S. GeoRadar S.r.l. | Giovedì 13 Novembre 2025 | ore 16,30 - Aula Arduino

13.11.2025

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

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

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

relatore: Dr. Roberto Maria Rossi - Dipartimento di Geoscienze | mercoledì 10 settembre 2025 | ore 14,00 - 17,00 - Aula 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.
