Seminario - Landform evolution in sedimentary tablelands: patterns of escarpment retreat and the role of subsurface processes

Relatore: Prof. Piotr Migoń - Uniwersytet Wrocławski, Poland | Martedì 25 Marzo 2025 | ore 16,30 - Aula Arduino

In the talk, several conceptual models of escarpment retreat will be presented, with an emphasis on non-catastrophic processes involved in caprock in situ disintegration. This will be followed by the examination of the role of subsurface processes in the evolution of tablelands in clastic and presentation of tools available to recognize that the role is indeed very important.

Humans make deliberate, real-time interventions into geomorphic processes, especially during major storm events. Existing morphodynamic models are not built to account for active, responsive human interventions. Evolving model platforms may need to explicitly address active human interventions as

Extreme geohazard events can change landscape morphology by redistributing huge volumes of sediment. Event-driven sediment deposition is typically studied in non-built (natural) settings – despite the ubiquity of occurrence and high economic cost of these geohazard impacts in built environments.

Seminario - Humans as agents of coastal geomorphic change

Published in Progress in Physical Geography three decades ago, “Beaches and dunes of human-altered coasts” by Karl Nordstrom (Nordstrom, 1994), has proven remarkably prescient. The scale, dominance, and rapid sprawl of human impacts on physical coastal environments had some traction in the 1990s as
