The course aims to provide the student with the basic knowledge related to the survey of the territory and the hazard associated with geological-environmental processes. The principles and methods of acquisition, management and use of spatial data, obtained through original surveys or by existing databases, will be explored. The predisposing and triggering factors related to geological-environmental processes (such as ground shaking, surface faulting, strong rainfall, landslides) will be introduced, and the methods of monitoring and mitigating risk. Expected outcomes At the end of the course, the student will have learned the key concepts on earthquake geology and seismic risk, and will be able to apply and communicate them in a multidisciplinary environment. Knowledges: - Understand the methods of surveying the territory. - Understand nature and the modes of occurrence of geological-environmental processes. - Understand the information contained in the thematic cartography and the information deriving from different disciplinary sectors (geology, engineering, planning). Ability to apply the knowledge: - Understand and comment scientific literature and technical documents written in English. - Ability to explore data within a geographic information system. - Evaluate different approaches, identifying relative advantages and criticalities. - Integrate multidisciplinary information and, if not complete or not in agreement, critically evaluate them. Communication skills: - Synthetize relevant information and communicate to professionals
