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.
teacher profile teaching materials
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).
