Short Abstract: In the recent decade, there has been an increasing interest in using electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method for monitoring of hydrogeological risks. The talk will present the potential of ERT method in mapping the variations of water saturation within embankments and slopes. A couple of case studies of the Tech-Levee-Watch project (funded by Fondazione CARIPLO) where ERT is being used as a permanent monitoring system to detect subsurface inhomogeneities will be discussed. The importance of developing site-specific data processing algorithms to guarantee valid results for successful entry of the method to early warning alarm systems will be stressed. The future perspectives will be also discussed.
Short Biography: Assistant Professor of Applied Geophysics at the Department of Mining Engineering, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, and Adjunct Professor at Politecnico di Milano. With expertise in electrical methods, her main research interests are applications of geophysical techniques, especially geoelectrical and GPR methods, to solve different environmental and engineering problems. Hojat is now collaborating in different national and international projects where ERT technique is used for a variety of problems, from mineral exploration projects and detection of subsurface structures to time-lapse monitoring of hydrogeological risks. Hojat is also involved in a couple of GPR projects to monitor the quality of stones and to detect construction conditions of different structures. The main perspective of her research plans is to improve data processing algorithms as well as developing new application areas for ERT and GPR techniques.
She established the Applied Geophysics Laboratory at Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman in 2013 and she has been managing the activities of the lab since then.
She is a member of national and international geophysical societies (EAGE, Iranian Geophysical Society, Austrian Geophysical Society) and Iranian Mining Engineering Organization.
Only for the students of the Master Course in Exploration and Applied Geophysics, attending the lecture will contribute to obtain cfu for the "Other Activities".

Lecture: Quantitative analysis and inversion of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data
Prof. Emanuele Forte (University of Tieste), November 22nd, Aula C, 14-16, via S. Maria 53
The seminar provides a general overview about the extraction of quantitative information from Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data.
After a summary about this geophysical techniques, I will highlight the applicability of GPR attributes calculation and its effectiveness for improved data interpretation and for the development of optimized quantitative inversion techniques. Several examples focused on various data sets with different purposes will be shown, including the density estimation of frozen materials, the brine detection for glaciological studies, the implementation of semi-automated optimized picking strategies, unsupervised petrophysical classification, neo-tectonic integrated studies, as well as the application of combined attributes for archaeological purposes.
E. Forte is assistant professor at the Mathematics and Geosciences Department of the Trieste University. His main research activities include shallow geophysics, geophysical data integration, GPR data processing and algorithm implementation, High-resolution reflection seismic, signal attributes, shallow water Electrical Resistivity Tomography, geophysical data integration and cross-validation. Researches focus on geophysical applications to geology, archaeology, glaciology, environmental problems (pollution, liquid contaminants and brownfields), engineering and hydrogeology. He is author/co-author of more than 50 scientific papers on international journals and more than 140 abstracts/extended abstracts on conference proceedings. He was involved in several acquisition surveys and international expeditions in Antarctic, Austria, Croatia, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Malta, Perù, Slovenia, Switzerland and Turkey.

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.
Short Biography
Gianluca Fiandaca is Associate Professor in Hydrogeophysics at the Department of Geoscience of the Aarhus University (Denmark). He has key expertise in electric and electromagnetic methods and integration with hydrological data for improved mapping of groundwater resources, development of geophysical processing and inversion algorithms and geophysical characterization of contaminated sites, landfills and leachate plumes.
Only for the students of the Master Course in Exploration and Applied Geophysics, participating to the lecture will contribute to obtain cfu for the "Other Activities".
