Theory and Practice: Our Geophysical Fieldwork
Despite the hot weather, our students completed the geophysical campaign where they put into practice what they have learned during the courses. Here you can find a snapshot of their experience while working on seismic investigation methods.

Short Abstract: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the process of capturing, transporting and injecting CO2 into an underground geological formation. It represents an important contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gases in the IEA’s Sustainable Development Scenario and an effective tool to reduce the so called ‘hard to abate’ industrial emissions. In the first part of the presentation the technical basics of CCS will be described, including the global CCS status and some issues related to the peculiarity of CO2 phase behavior. The second part will be devoted to the geological and geophysical studies needed to guarantee the feasibility and the safety of CO2 injection operations. Modeling, monitoring and storage complex characterization will be described taking advantage of Eni’s experience in such topics.

Oil & Gas HPC Conference at Rice University
Dear students of the Msc in Exploration and Applied Geophysics,
We inform you about this interesting telematic conference (March 5, 2021): Oil & Gas High Performance Computing Conference. It is fully online and free of charge. More information can be found here https://rice2021oghpc.rice.edu/
Information Regarding the Second Term
The second semester starts Monday the 15th of February.
For the second semester AY 2020-2021, the courses of the Master Degree in Exploration & Applied Geophysics will be delivered in a telematic mode.
Regarding the laboratories and the geophysical campaign, we are organizing an emergency plan that will allow this type of teaching to be carried out in presence.
According to the pandemic conditions (i.e. Tuscany in the "yellow zone") we will try to provide all the laboratory credits by the end of the semester (May). As for the field activities (geophysical campaign), we reserve the right to use the month of June and the first two weeks of September.
The courses will be enriched with supplementary didactic complements. Exams and graduation sessions will be delivered in a telematic mode.
We invite all the students to check the web pages of the Master Degree and to interact with the teachers of the training activities of the second semester to get information on the way the didactic activities of laboratories and campaign will be provided.
