PRINCIPI E MONITORAGGIO DEI PROCESSI GEODINAMICI

The course aims to provide adequate knowledge and understanding of geodynamic processes active in distinct tectonic contexts through the use of velocity vectors.

Acquisition of ability to perform geodetic surveys with GNSS and Total Station receivers of topographic elements in areas affected by tectonic deformation.

21 hours (3 CFU) of frontal lessons on principles of geodynamic processes and exercises on velocity fields, 21 hours (3 CFU) of frontal lessons on monitoring of geodynamic processes and field work.

If the teaching is given in a mixed or remote way, necessary changes may be introduced with respect to what was previously stated, in order to respect the program envisaged and reported in the syllabus.

As a guarantee of equal opportunities and in compliance with current laws, interested students can ask for a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and/or dispensatory measures, based on their specific needs and on teaching objectives of the discipline. It is also possible to ask the departmental contacts of CInAP (Center for Active and Participatory Integration - Services for Disabilities and/or DSAs), in the persons of professor Giorgio De Guidi.

Geodynamic processes, global tectonics, tectonic structures related to volcanism and seismicity activity, collisional tectonic domains, subduction tectonic domains, continental rift domains, geodesy.
