20410181 - VOLCANIC RISK

The course provides the basic knowledge to assess the hazard and mitigate the risk in volcanic areas, with emphasis on pre-eruptive and eruptive dynamics, as well as on Italian volcanoes. Students will be stimulated to analyse the problems and propose the relative solutions.

Mutuazione: 20410181 RISCHIO VULCANICO in Geologia del Territorio e delle Risorse LM-74 ACOCELLA VALERIO

Programme

Hazard and risk applied to volcanoes: concepts, history, perspectives. Deterministic and probabilistic approach on the short-, medium- and long-term. Volcano monitoring systems. Volcanic unrest. Eruptive and reference scenarios. Elicitations. Build up of the event-tree.
Basic principles to evaluate the volcanic risk (vulnerability and exposure; evacuations, resilience, dissemination).
Hazard related to effusive activity (lava flows, domes, lava fountains, strombolian activity). Hazard related to explosive eruptions (pyroclastic flows, fall deposits, ash plumes, climate changes). Mobilization of volcanic products (lahars). Hazard related to sector collapses and related tsunamis. Hazard from gas emission. Seismic hazard in volcanic areas. Integrate approach and multi-hazard analysis.
Volcanic risk in the Civil Protection.
Examples of definition of the volcanic hazard at the main active Italian volcanoes (Etna, Stromboli, Vesuvio, Campi Flegrei).
