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

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

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

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
