Educational objectives The course aims to provide basic elements for the analysis of geological risk through theoretical elements and practical applications aimed at defining scenarios of effects induced by natural hazards. Another objective is to acquire awareness of possible strategies aimed at mitigating geological risk, with particular reference to the role of the geologist and the regulatory context.
The expected learning outcomes consist of: a) ability to define geological risk by weighing the factors that determine it; b) ability to describe risk scenarios and to read cartographic products that represent them; c) knowledge of technical aspects regulated by current legislation on geological risks.

Educational objectives This course describes the criteria and methods for determining the hydraulic parameters of aquifers by means of pumping tests. Provides elements to assess the effects of groundwater pumping, in steady and transient regime. Provides methods for calculating the pumping and the right use of groundwater resources. Explains the basis to assess the flow and the transport in the subsurface.

Educational objectives Educational goals: An increase of the basic knowledge of the soil mechanics, useful in order to deal with some applications of the engineerin geology. Ability to critically solve simple realistic problems
Learning ouctomes: Ability to critically solve advanced realistic problems of soil mechanics
This module of the course has the primary objective of providing students with a broad overview of the legislation that regulates the activities inherent to the profession of geologist. They will therefore illustrate and comment on the regulatory provisions that concern the field of construction and environmental protection in the broadest sense of the term.
