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.

Webinar: "Characterization of karst rocks by means of GPR techniques"
The MSc in Exploration and Applied Geophysics organizes a webinar delivered by Emanuele Forte (University of Trieste): "Characterization of karst rocks by means of GPR techniques"
Date: December 11, 14:00.
Short abstract: Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) techniques are often exploited because they allow to reach very high resolution in the imaging of shallow subsurface. Karstic environments have peculiar characteristics in terms of both geometries and rock parameters like porosity and hydraulic conductivity. In this seminar we show some examples of the performances of such techniques in imaging and characterization of fractures, bedding joints and karstic features of carbonates, highlighting that a proper combination of data acquisition and processing algorithms may provide the image enhancement required by applications in several fields. In addition, we discuss about the possibility to extract from GPR surveys quantitative information related to EM kinematic and dynamic properties; data inversion strategies are analyzed from both the theoretical and applicative points of view, giving some examples on real datasets, further compared and validated with direct information.
All are invited. For the students of the Master of Science in Exploration and Applied Geophysics: attending the webinar will contribute to obtain ECTS for the "Other Activities".
