Seminar - Progress and challenges to earthquake predictability

Speaker: Warner Marzocchi, University of Naples, Federico II | Tuesday 26 March - 4.30 PM | Arduino Classroom

Earthquake predictability is the essential scientific ingredient for any sound seismic risk mitigation planning. But what do we really know about earthquake predictability? Since the optimistic approach to deterministic earthquake prediction in the seventies, seismological community is moving towards probabilistic forecasts, in which seismologists can estimate probabilities for the earthquake occurrence in any specific space‐magnitude‐time windows.

Seminar (Career Workshop) Il telerilevamento con drone

Speaker: Stefano Brugnaro, freelance geologist | Tuesday 19 March - 4.30 PM | Arduino Classroom

La crescente digitalizzazione cartografica ha visto una forte evoluzione circa l’utilizzo nella professione del geologo dei rilievi tramite drone (Sistema Aeromobili a Pilotaggio Remoto), sia in contesto civile che ambientale e territoriale. La capacità di gestire sensori di differente natura ha agevolato l’esponenziale utilizzo tecnico applicativo, soprattutto da figure professionali già inserite nel settore topografico. Ad oggi il drone viene utilizzato come strumento per l’acquisizione di informazioni dall’alto e quindi la ricostruzione di modelli bidimensionali e tridimensionali.
