Seminario - Using small mammals as a tool for understanding the effects of climate and environmental change on biodiversity

Relatrice: Prof. Amanda Peng - Department of Geosciences and Sternberg Museum of Natural History, Fort Hays State University | Martedì 26 Maggio 2026 | ore 16,30 Aula Arduino

26.05.2026

An understanding of biological diversity and its change through time has been a topic of study for nearly two centuries. Past biological diversity, frequently measured by species richness, is of particular interest to paleontologists who seek to understand past biodiversity and inform current

Seminario - Magnetic Archives of Earth’s History: From Ocean Drilling to Archaeological Chronology

Relatrice: Dr. Anita Di Chiara - Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (Roma) | Martedì 19 Maggio 2026 | ore 16,30 Aula Arduino

19.05.2026

The Earth’s magnetic field is one of the most dynamic and important physical properties of our planet, serving as both a shield against cosmic radiation and a high-resolution chronological tool for geological records and human history. This seminar presents some of the recent advancements in

Seminario - Long-runout landslides with longitudinal ridges in the solar system: what controls their formation?

Relatrice: Prof. Giulia Magnarini - Laboratoire de Planétologie et Géosciences, Nantes Université | Martedì 28 Aprile 2026 | ore 16,30 - Aula Arduino

28.04.2026

Long-runout landslides are amongst the most catastrophic type of mass movements, and yet one of the least understood. Much work has already been done to study the behaviour of these landslides, yet the origin of their hypermobility is poorly understood. One key morphological feature that is

Seminario - Understanding the Complexity of Fluid-Induced Microearthquake Ruptures: Insights from High-Resolution Observations and 3D Dynamic Modeling

Relatrice: Prof. Elisa Tinti – Sapienza Università di Roma | Giovedì 23 Aprile 2026 | ore 16,30 - Aula 1F

23.04.2026

Understanding the dynamics of microearthquakes is a key challenge in modern seismology, particularly in the context of fluid-induced seismicity. We exploit unique datasets from hydraulic stimulation experiments at the Bedretto Underground Laboratory (Switzerland), where dense near-fault monitoring

Seminario - Coupling latent heat release with reaction kinetics in metamorphic systems

Relatore: Dr. Simon Schorn - Institute of Geosciences & Mainz Institute of Multiscale Modeling, Johannes-Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. | Martedì 31 Marzo 2026 | ore 16,30 - Aula Arduino

31.03.2026

In this seminar Dr. Schorn will first show the results of thermokinematic modeling and n the second part, he will dive into reactions that involve melting in large-scale granulite terranes, referring to two end-member heat sources - Martedì 31 Marzo 2026

Seminario - The effects of fluids on geochronology

Relatore: Prof. Suzette Timmerman – Institut für Geologie, Universität Bern, Switzerland | Martedì 24 Marzo 2026 | ore 16,30 - Aula Arduino

24.03.2026

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
