T71. New frontiers in sustainable engineering geology design

-

Congressi SGI-SIMP

Among the main environmental objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations, topics such as the fight against climate change, the conscious and responsible exploitation of natural resources, the prevention and reduction of geo-hydrological or seismic risk, the eco-compatible management of waste, the reduction and prevention of water pollution as well as the protection and conservation of the historical-cultural heritage are of fundamental importance for the future of the Planet.
The achievement of these objectives requires a new way of thinking and acting, based on a holistic vision of development and nature in accordance with economic, social and institutional aspects and implications. This results in the need for integrated multidisciplinary approaches which, although complex, require new frontiers in both basic and applied research.
In line with the new sustainable objectives of the 2030 Agenda, this session aims to present original contributions of basic and applied research on land protection and risk mitigation, geotechnical constructions, geothermal energy production, innovative and multidirectional laboratory and in situ investigation techniques and methodologies, assessment of vulnerability and protection from groundwater and aquifer pollution, conservation, protection and valorization of the geological and cultural heritage. Case studies may concern both different areas of italy, which due to its natural, architectural and historical conformation represents a sort of natural laboratory for the study of catastrophic phenomena aggravated by anthropic impact, and sites abroad.
 
CONVENERS: Gioacchino Francesco Andriani (Università di Bari Aldo Moro), Claudia Cherubini (Università di Trieste), Concetta Immacolata Giasi (Politecnico di Bari), Nicola Pastore (Politecnico di Bari), Nicola Sciarra (Università di Chieti-Pescara)
