Prof. Gianluca Fiandaca from the Department of Geosciences of the Aarhus University (Denmark) delivers the lecture "Electric and Electromagnetic methods for mapping of groundwater resources and of permeability". Students and researchers are invited on Thursday, the 15th of November, h. 14:00-16:00, room C of the DST.

Short Abstract

Water is a prerequisite for all life on Earth. On a global scale, clean water for human consumption and crop irrigation ranks amongst the greatest societal challenges. Water management requires addressing the challenges of (amongst others) developing reliable and cost-efficient methods for mapping water resources and for predicting the spatio-temporal dynamics of hydrogeochemical processes. These challenges are exacerbated by the changing climate that will result in, among other things, increases in drought periods and sudden floods. Hydrogeophysics and hydrology are the key methods for addressing these challenges thanks to their ability to map and monitor the subsurface and to measure, model and predict groundwater flow.

Important news items starting from the Academic Year 2018/2019:

1) Starting from September 2018, all the courses, lectures and laboratory activities related to the first-year Master’s Degree course in Science in Exploration and Applied Geophysics will be delivered in English. From September 2019 English will also be used for the second-year courses. A knowledge of the English language equivalent to B2 level is a prerequisite for admission to the courses.

2) The University of Pisa and the Montan University of Leoben (Austria) have established a Double Degree Programme “International Master of Applied and Exploration Geophysics”, starting in autumn 2018. Interested students will be selected on the basis of their academic performance to spend at least one term at the partner University in order to acquire at least 24 ECTS. Students will be awarded a double diploma in Applied and Exploration Geophysics issued by the two partner Universities, in compliance with the different national rules and agreements signed between the partner institutions. A B2 English qualification (or equivalent) is a prerequisite for admission. Students enrolled in the Master’s Degree course in Science in Exploration and Applied Geophysics at the University of Pisa may also apply for admission to the “International Master of Applied and Exploration Geophysics”.

Il 14 novembre 2017 durante il Convegno Nazionale GNGTS a Trieste, si è tenuta la undicesima edizione del Challenge Bowl Italia. 

La sfida a quiz tra gli studenti di Geofisica Applicata organizzata da EAGE italia e dalla Society of Exploration Geophysics ha visto protagonisti due nostri studenti, Rosalia Lo Bue e Francesco Rappisi (in foto) che, portacolori dell'Università di Pisa, hanno prevalso su numerose altre squadre composte da  studenti di laurea e dottorandi delle Università di Napoli, Roma, Bologna, Milano, Torino, superando con successo le batterie di qualificazione, le semifinali ed infine hanno vinto la finale.  Oltre ad un premio assegnato dalla Sezione Italiana EAGE-SEG, i nostri studenti parteciperanno al prossimo congresso della Society of Exploration Geophysics, che si terrà ad Anaheim dal 14 al 19 ottobre 2018.

Complimenti e auguri ai nostri studenti!
