Looking at rivers in a data rich era

Speaker: Dr. Simone Bizzi (Department of Geosciences - University of Padova) - Tuesday, 29th March – 4:30 PM | Aula Arduino

29.03.2022

For decades geomorphologists have asked what drives the fundamental difference in river functioning between single-thread meandering channel and multi-thread systems? The variety of existing river channel patterns and their functioning are nicely summarized in the river classification schemes which tells us that river forms and patterns are generated by specific drivers, namely: channel gradient, amount of sediment supply, and grain size (caliber) of the sediment supply.

Building planetary atmospheres from magma oceans

Speaker: Dr. Paolo Sossi (Eth, Department of Earth Sciences, Zürich, Switzerland) - Tuesday, 22nd March – 4:30 PM | Aula Arduino

22.03.2022

Atmospheres around some rocky planets may be germane to the development of life. Owing to the energy deposited during accretion, most are thought to have undergone at least one magma ocean stage in their lifetime.

Secular sea-level rise: the role of Solid Earth

Speaker: Prof. Giorgio Spada (Department of Physics and Astronomy - University of Bologna) - Tuesday, 15th March – 4:30 PM | Aula Arduino

15.03.2022

It is well established that the sea-level variations due to the melting of continental ice sheets are characterized by strongly non-uniform spatial and temporal patterns. To a large extent, these result from Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA), a physical process caused by the global and the regional

The Reference Geological Model (RGM) in the professional practice

Speaker: Dott. Geol. Gianluca Benedetti (ENSER S.r.l. - Società d'ingegneria - Faenza) - Thursday, 2nd December – 4:30 PM | Aula Arduino

02.12.2021

Career WorkshopThe Reference Geological Model (RGM) is the basic tool of any civil engineering design and construction as fully described in the “Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni” (NTC2018, D.M. 17/01/2018). Geological structures are normally complex and for the major part cannot be directly

Hydrocarbons and environmental impact: from exploration to refining

Speaker: Dott. Geol. Mauro Annese (Professional Geologist for hydrocarbon and chemical companies) - Thursday, 11th november – 4:30 PM | Aula Arduino

11.11.2021

Oil is one of the many underground resources, occasionally causing environmental impact when it is transported by tankers, pipelines or during drilling and production operations. The seminar covers the different steps of the oil journey from 12-15.000 feet underground to the service stations, their impact and remedies.
