In high temperature systems, reactions with fluid can result in resetting the formation age. Particularly for diamonds, where diamond formation age dating is done by analyses of its mineral inclusions, a fluid film at the interface of the mineral inclusion and diamond can result in resetting the age

Seminario - Against the flow: how much can we control river sediment dynamics?

Relatore: Dr. Mirko Musa, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland | Martedì 17 Marzo 2026 | ore 16,30 - Aula Arduino

17.03.2026

Sediment transport and river morphodynamics are among the most complex and least understood challenges in civil engineering and Earth sciences. While the ambition to control them may seem like wishful thinking, it has long driven scientific and engineering progress, from erosion mitigation and flood

Seminario - Geomorphic controls on organic carbon storage and flux in river corridors

Relatore: Prof. Katherine B. Lininger– Geography Department, University of Colorado Boulder (USA) | Martedì 3 Marzo 2026 | ore 16,30 - Aula Arduino

03.03.2026

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
