The evolution of Italian beaches in ISPRA monitoring of the coastal strip

Jun 26, 2024 from 09:00 AM to 01:30 PM Rome, ISPRA, Via V. Brancati, 48 - online su youtube,
The coastal structure in the updating of the ISPRA information layers dedicated to beaches A fundamental element for the planning and management of coastlines is the knowledge of long-term coastal evolution, due to the action of the sea, anthropic activity and climate change. The Italian coastal strip plays a strategic role for the socio-economic development of the country. The constant monitoring of the evolution of the natural and anthropic elements that determine the Italian coastal structure by ISPRA through the updating of the digitalisation and environmental characterization of the national coasts allows us to have a constantly updated picture of the Italian coastal system. On 26 June during the event entitled "The evolution of Italian beaches in ISPRA monitoring of the coastal strip" the update of the information layers dedicated to beaches will be presented, an important step in understanding the evolution of the beach resource.

Dancalia: the contribution of Italian geologists in the exploration of the Afar

Jun 07, 2024 from 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM Rome, Villa Celimontana,
The conference entitled "Dancalia: the contribution of Italian geologists in the exploration of the Afar" will be held in Rome on 7 June. During the day there will be an in-depth analysis of the role played by the Italian scientific community in the exploration of the Danakil region (East Africa). In fact, there are many examples of geologists, explorers and scientists who, from the 19th century to the present day, have traveled the length and breadth of the Afar depression, a desolate region but very rich in geosites: from the Erta Ale volcano to the area of Dallol and the Salt Plain, from the geothermal springs of Alalobed to the Awash valley with the various fossil finds. During the conference there will be several interventions by various experts, university professors, researchers, geographers and historians, with the aim of enhancing the contribution that the geological community has historically produced on the Dancalia area, in terms of studies, research, discoveries, reports, images and geological and geographical maps, and to share new ideas and lines of research Program
