Machine Learning in Geophysics: A new course of our MSc Program
We are happy to announce the start of a brand new Machine Learning course for Geophysicists. Although many ML courses are available, only very few of them are directly applied to the solution of geophysical and/or geological problems, making our Machine Learning for Geophysics course the first of its kind in Italy. We offer this course within our MSc program in Exploration and Applied Geophysics where, with the aim to train the next generation of Geophysicists, in addition to this one, we offer many other interesting courses covering different geophysical topics. The applications to our MSc program will open soon, so join us!!
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.
